I'll mark brainlest

Read the following passage from Jonathan Swift's essay "A Modest Proposal":

Some persons of a desponding spirit are in great concern about
that vast number of poor people, who are aged, diseased, or maimed; and I have been desired to employ my thoughts what
course may be taken, to ease the nation of so grievous an incumbrance. But I am not in the least pain upon that matter,
because it is very well known, that they are every day dying, and
rotting, by cold and famine, and filth, and vermin, as fast as can
be reasonably expected.

Explain Swift's point of view on the poverty problem in Ireland. Then, analyze how
Swift uses satire to express that viewpoint. Support your analysis with specific
examples from the passage.
