What is most likely the purpose of this excerpt?

1. To shame the greedy people who have contributed to Ireland’s poverty instead of trying to help eradicate it.

In this excerpt, Jonathan Swift is stating people have enriched themselves at the cost of others. They have increased their wealth and resources through the aid of working people who remained in poverty. Swift condemns those who rather dress in wealth than aid others who struggle to obtain food, and use what it is theirs by right.  

Swift uses a powerful hyperbole device to open people’s minds regarding England’s viciousness over others; how they have acted towards their people, and how consumed they are with their own power. Swift wants people to think about their countries, and wants all the authorities to read his proposals for them to ponder over what they have done to their country.
