The government are not interested to help anybody to become self sufficient and live a better lifestyle. There are so many things that cam lead to poverty which include war especially like the one of Ukraine and Russia, if things are not being regulated properly, it will be difficult for the people to overcome poverty and live a good lifestyle. The government has nothing to offer to us than to take the little we have.
If the government has nothing to offer, but only takes something from the citizens, who exactly has to regulate situations like war? And what do you mean by "properly" in the context of war, Russia started against Ukraine?
The task of the government is not to get rid of poverty, but to create conditions in which people can earn a living. Of course, the fact that someone is poor is influenced by many factors, such as tthe state of the country's economy, origin, state of health, personal skills, but also the fact that some people simply do nothing to change their lives for the better is of no less importance. Many of them do not take advantage of the opportunities offered to them and are satisfied with the situation in which they are.
