A core problem of capitalism is that it only solves the problems of people with money... This is more of the same. Consider that any of those 100 people might have a kid who would be the next Einstein, if only they hadn't been lead-poisoned. But these hundred people also have rent to pay and food to buy, and can only set aside $100 to deal with the lead-pipes problem. The existing distribution of wealth is not a good measure of the importance of the problems that these different individuals are experiencing. And the existing distribution of wealth is thus not a great way to prioritize solving problems for maximum societal benefit.
