If poor people don't contribute to the economy at all, why do we still keep them alive?

Not a matter of being rich versus poor. Most of us will never be "rich" in the world's material things...the important issue is to be RESPONSIBLE, ACCOUNTABLE, PRODUCTIVE AND TAKE CARE OF OUR OWN RESPONSIBILITIES...not to be leeches off other people...that is robbery.
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 52708566 Oh, leeches eh. Like being so spiritually bankrupt, you espouse someone else's life of selflessness as a reason to only be moderately selfless yourself? Selflessness....you make no sense. To leech off others is pure selfishness and robbery. Have you read the parable about Lazarus the leech and the rich man? “Then the King will turn to those on the left and say, ‘ Away with you, you cursed ones, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his demons. For I was hungry, and you didn’t feed me. I was thirsty, and you didn’t give me a drink. I was a stranger, and you didn’t invite me into your home. I was naked, and you didn’t give me clothing. I was sick and in prison, and you didn’t visit me.’ “Then they will reply, ‘Lord, when did we ever see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and not help you?’ “And he will answer, ‘I tell you the truth, when you refused to help the least of these my brothers and sisters, you were refusing to help me.’ “And they will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous will go into eternal life.” Matthew 25:41-46 I know that story, probably better than you. My point is that the able bodied, those who are capable, SHOULD be responsible for themselves. There are people in need of help, and we are to help those....but those who are ABLE are to be responsible, productive and accountable and not leech off others. As I have repeatedly said, take the bible as a whole...don't just jerk out a verse here and there without understanding the context with which it was given.
