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.
This is an interesting thread, although I do not visit the economics thread, that is why I haven't seen this thread. Now I have read it, there are two ways to that.
- Government is the authority that is given the mandate to end poverty. So it shouldn't surprise us when the citizens expect the government to end their poverty by using their tax money and other generated revenue judicious. This is why any government that is doing well, their unemployment and poverty index are always infinitistimal
- Being rich also depends on the individuals ability to make the ends meet. But no matter how well individuals might strive to succeed, the government is against the people, they cannot.
