the better the economy is, the richer everyone is. ideally there would be no poverty at all, and the free market is a way to get as close to that as possible. the "some people deserve to be poor" narrative is extremely unintelligent because, if you think people should be poor, you should support socialism, not capitalism. socialist measures, such as handouts, are supposedly meant to help people out but they have a cost, and make people poorer, making it hardest on those who can't adapt
