Poverty is one of the global conflicts that every country faces wherein cooperation from both its citizens and the one governing is crucially demanded. But despite the efforts of most countries, poverty still knocks at the doorsteps of every family and conflicts between the government and the people are always being talked about. Is it the people who needs to change or the government needs to clean itself? Who should be the one to make an effort?
Poor and uneducated people are easy to control. Education is very expensive and not all people can afford it. People work in order to survive. Every day millions of people think how to feed the family and survive. People are unhappy. And instead of trying to change their lives for the better, people watch TV, believe the false news and politicians who are pummeling their brains. Poverty is very beneficial to the government.
That is why the answer to your question - only people can overcome poverty (material and spiritual).
