According the Bino Leitim we will say opposite. The Midrash says ויסב אלקים דרך המדבר ים סוף – מכאן אפילו עני שבישראל לא יאכל עד שיסב Hashem took them around, the question is why does the Midrash change the meaning to interpret it as reclining? We are telling the poor person that we were in the same boat as he is now and Hashem saved us. In the desert we have nothing as he feels but Hashem led us and protected us taking us out Mitzraim.
The bread of affliction reflects this. Similarly we show emphaty and put ourselves in his shoes. Therefore in the zechus of charity we are showing we become worthy of the redemption.
