You've forgotten the original question. The question was whether we should harm very poor people in other countries in order to benefit not very poor at all people in the US.

I argued that it would be horrendously immoral to do so.

How do we pull up the poor when the elites filter the entire economy through their pockets?

If the goal is to pull everyone out of poverty, is there a way to accelerate the process? I'd say, yes. Predicate the elites selling their people's labor to wealthier powers on improving labor's situation in that country. They are not doing it on their own, at least not fast as they could.

I think we can help both the poor people in the US and everywhere else. We just need to squeeze the top a bit harder.
