Is the government can really make a way to end poverty or it depends on us?

[Alpha Marine]

It depends on the country you live in. I'm saying this because some governments have made efforts to reduce the level of poverty in their country while some governments just don't give a shit. All they care about is enriching themselves and their families, especially the governments of developing countries.
We know that the whole world is in a bad place right now due to inflation but it is worst in some countries and those countries are developing countries whose governments are so corrupt to the extent of not caring about how badly their people are suffering.
No matter what country you live in you shouldn't rely on the government to lift you out of poverty, worst still in you are in a third-world country. I know it's hard but you just got to know that you are all on your own and the government doesn't give a damn about you.

Nevertheless, it doesn't mean you shouldn't demand what is yours from your government. It is the role of a government to create employment and provide a nice environment for businesses to thrive, the government is supposed to make it's country a good place to do business, combat inflation and make sure the cost of living is as low as possible.

In my country i observed so many people doing rally and blame the government why the basic needs price rise and the salary is still very low and not enough for daily expenses, is this the effect of the Ukraine and russia war that makes the gas or crude oil so high at price and they pass the gas expenses to the product and it ends to very high price of the basic needs that make us very poor, I see government has a move to resolve the problem but many people are still blaming the government.

People who are in charge of your country were born and raised in your country, in your society, among the people of your country. If these people are bad people for its citizens, it means that society has failed to grow them in a good way. I mean, it's not that government is a problem alone and the rest is doing well, the problem lies within people, within their ethics, their mentality, their traditions, rules.

I bet, if you live in a corrupt country where politicians make tons of money, if you ask a random citizen what would he do if he was in head of government, more likely you'll get answer: I'll make tons of money.

So, my answer is that citizens are the root, governments are the reap that they sow. If people think that things will get better if there is no government, then be sure that every anarchy turns into Monarchy or in modern world, into a government established by a team of certain individuals.

Some are really extending their effort to deal with poverty but depending on the government won't really help us escape poverty. Education I guess, is the key, in general. First, if people would be knowledgeable of things, they'd know how to plan for their future and that is one step already. Problem is, people in areas wherein poverty is obvious, are not even trying to make a change because they are simply used to it. Well ofcourse there are those who has the will but are lacking the oppotrunity BUT if you have the knowledge, you can create your own opportunity. It is not all about education indeed but no doubt that it would be a huge part of every man's success.

[Unbunplease]

The paradox is that governments only exist when there are poor people. If everyone in society were equal, the main incentive for subjugation would disappear. Yes, governments may claim to be fighting poverty, but they do not go further than that.

It's normal for its people to have those rallies and wanting to convey their message to the government on what they're demanding for. They're paying for the tax on that country unless the country is tax-free, at least for some countries.

I believe that the governance still has something to do on how the life of people would be. But, if you're in that type of area and you're still thinking that the government will pull you up to get out of poverty then that's the time you need to start thinking that you can't be too dependent on them.

They can do something regards to the price decrease of commodities and for the private companies to increase the salaries, it's not that easy because it depends on the cost of living and operational costs if it's doable.

I think that we can eliminate food scarcity in way that every family would have some food to eat and water to drink daily but completely erasing poverty seems impossible currently. Not only does this depend on the family or groups of persons who do the daily grind but this also depends on the government by providing job opportunities to reduce inflation.

Personally, the theory and idea behind communism works but this can easily be corrupted when a government controls too much power and fails to do its part to the society.

[Plaguedeath]

It depends on us, although government is also a human where greedy is a human nature, but if the government want to distribute free money to the poor people, it will affect the whole economy and cause high inflation rate. Don't only hope the government will help you, just do what you can and what you're interested, sooner or later the money will follow you since you're keep trying and want to achieve something.

[dothebeats]

Governments do some things to allow this to happen, but the rest of the weight is on our shoulders. Only us ourselves can elevate our lifestyles and help us get away from poverty. It's not an impossible thing to do, but it is doable provided that you have the right mindset and do not lose sight of your goal. I won't really depend on the government for helping me reach financial stability if I were living within the poverty line. Instead, I'll make use of what I have, make do with what I know, and continue learning to get something for my hard work. I understand the plight of the masses when they organize rallies and tell the government to do something with their lives, but it's wrong to depend everything to the government as they don't have the power to help and lift everyone.

Poverty will not and will never end.
Government's help has limitations. We can't all depend to the government. We need to do our thing as well in order for us to get out of poverty.

When people are having a hard time, there is this nature of a person where they are blaming somebody for what they've done themselves like in this case, the are blaming the government on why the price of basic needs are increasing. These people are also the people who don't know what is called "inflation", and what they know only is that, it's the government's fault as to why prices are increasing.

Some governments are doing their job to at least decrease the price of basic needs such as oil, gas, and food, but on the other hand, there are some things that it isn't controllable at all like inflation. If people want to go out of poverty, they must do something and don't rely it all to the government.

[Crypt0Gore]

Inflation is the real problem that most countries find very hard to combat and win, this is why the poverty rate and situation in some countries are very bad , but it makes no sense to depend on your government for your life goals and achievement, I have seen too many people blaming the government for this, which is really unfair, the only reasonable things people can expect from the government are

•Good road and Stable Electricity.

•Advanced and Standby Security for the People.

•Better availability of Jobs.

Still, it is on you to find something legit you can do to improve yourself financially, it is wrong to expect the government to solve your issue of lack of knowledge to make money, start doing something, and believe in yourself only.

Exactly. It is also common occurence here in my country, once there's an issue regarding poverty and money, it will always be the government to be blamed. Well it's also true that companies are the ones to give opportunities and mostly those companies are tied up to government, eventually it will just end up that the government is the root cause of all those things. To be honest there is no such thing as ending the poverty.

In my opinion the possible of conflict between Ukraine and Russia has contributed to the increase in gas prices, which in turn may have lAd to higher prices for basic good and services. But, it is important to note that there are many factors that contribute to the prices of goods and service including global ecanomic conditions, supply and demand, and domestic policies.

People in government and citizens are two different stratums of population. They mind their own business, citizens care about themselves by their own. Frankly speaking, government does not owe anything to the citizens. Poverty is the problem of those who are poor. It was their decision to act or not to act in their past, to be poor today. Problem of poverty is in persons heads.

In fact, how do you see government can end poverty? Make everything free? Give free money? Print more money? Then they would have to give and do everything to everyone. Lets say rich person is "5", middle class is "3", and poor people is "1". If you make +1 to every stratum if citizens, nothing would change.

Maybe you're right. because even a corrupt government can plunge a country into even greater poverty. although it all depends on each of us to change our lives. we want to work harder and smarter or not. but the role of government is also important in efforts to prosper the people of a country. if there are no corruptors in the body of government then I think a country will develop more quickly to become a developed country and the poverty rate can be reduced every year. but everyone has their own interests. including those in government positions.

If a country's problem is definitely the one who solves it is the people in it (the people) because if only the government moves without the support of the community, surely the results will not be optimal and will not even develop.
conversely, if only the people move without government support, it will definitely not be organized and will not be controlled.

So in essence, if you want to fix the country's problems, you have to work together between the people and the government, so that they are more efficient and controlled.

the mistakes of today's society and government are less united, the result is disputes that never subside, caused because the government and society are not united in advancing their country.

and there are many things that cause disputes between the community and the government, one of which is the many officials in the government who are corrupt and unfair. This factor often becomes a dispute between the community and the government.

[Vaculin]

It can be said that inflation is also a part of the world economy, but at this time due to the consequences of the pandemic and war, inflation has become larger and more unpredictable. Every government is different, some are still trying their best to bring stability and prosperity to their people but there are many greedy governments that only care about themselves and leave their people alone. But no matter what country you live in, don't expect too much or depend too much on others, I believe that only we can save ourselves, no one can save us.

I don’t think the government will be responsible enough to end poverty. It won’t be, but they can create different initiatives to control and lessen poverty. However, it’s the people themselves that should be responsible to end poverty, and not the government. Because even if the government provides different opportunities for the people, if the people don’t have the right mindset to see progress in their own lives, they will always live poorly and continue to struggle in life.

Your citizens will also not get anything if they keep blaming the government if the government is really trying to solve the problem, because the high prices of basic necessities are not caused by the government in a country alone. But this is a matter that covers a very general and large scope so that every country also needs to move to overcome this, even though some countries do not feel the high price of basic necessities at this time.

For this problem, I also don't want to directly point to the war between Ukraine and Russia. Because in the past there was also a war in the Middle East, but the prices of goods and staples for food were not as expensive as they are now, so I don't think that the high prices of gas and crude oil are now a result of the war between Ukraine and Russia. I think more that it is the cause of the scarcity of gas and crude oil at this time so that the price becomes expensive which also affects food staples.

I would not try to shift the responsibility onto the shoulders of the government.
Let me explain:
- The government is those people to whom you have entrusted the management of the country. This is your choice. YOUR trust.
- your life and your well-being are ONLY IN YOUR hands. The state cannot provide a RICH life, the State can provide the minimum necessary standard of living.
- The state will primarily take care of large companies that provide taxes, jobs, but not about you or your neighbor specifically.
- Your activity, the desire to live better, this is the only thing that will make you and those around you richer. The more you earn, the more you will spend. The more your neighbor will earn by selling you vegetables or meat. The better you make repairs and buy building materials from your manufacturer.

That is why we must strive to ensure that the middle class grows, which really starts the economy (spends money, if very primitively), and as a result of this, the standard of living of all others grows. The state does not make you rich, but it should not prevent you from being rich

Yes, it is a natural thing, in my opinion, for people who hold demonstrations about how difficult and how expensive basic commodities are in the necessities of life, the war between Rusai and Ukraine has indeed put a high enough emphasis on the scarcity of gas and oil so that there is a lack of supply to meet the needs of the people who are impact on rising prices.

It can be said that inflation is also a part of the world economy, but at this time due to the consequences of the pandemic and war, inflation has become larger and more unpredictable. Every government is different, some are still trying their best to bring stability and prosperity to their people but there are many greedy governments that only care about themselves and leave their people alone. But no matter what country you live in, don't expect too much or depend too much on others, I believe that only we can save ourselves, no one can save us.

Yes, of course, this is the impact of inflation, which basically pushes prices higher, and we can't deny that. Even so, we cannot depend on other people, still the place for public complaints is the government in their own country for the welfare and meeting the needs of their people.

But it would also be nice if we didn't just stay silent with such big problems that couldn't be solved personally, but that doesn't mean we just keep complaining about situations like that, we also have to increase our ability to be able to find opportunities to improve the economy that exists in our own families. before talking about how to reduce inflation and stabilize the supply of people's needs.
You are right, the logic that must be applied in this case is that no one can save us but ourselves.

[Gyfts]

Government shouldn't be in the position to control inflation, but they've taken that responsibility upon themselves to try and handle the balancing act of currency manipulation. Depending on the country, the government has the ability to resolve most economic woes by opening up free markets, lowering tax rates and regulation to encourage entrepreneurship, and staying out of the creation of central bank policies which hamper growth.

An individual government can't control global affairs like war. Understand, however, that most of the economic problems you see are a result of government ineptitude, not the Ukrainian war. The war just made matters worse.

Whether a country is developed or not, rich or not, depends a lot on the government because they are the ones who run the country. But if you are poor or just a small part of society can't blame the government entirely, the government can't go door to door to check and help everyone in their country.

I find the problem to be the sanctimony of the government which is they would like to go door to door and help everyone in the country. Instead of physically going door to door, they create a social welfare state at the expense of the working class.
