different point of view: cant always depend on the gov't

            Another great argument is that the government is not responsible for every little thing that goes wrong with us. The government can’t expect to know when something is going to happen to you and be prepared to give you everything you need. The government does try and help everyone out but it is also impossible to get to every single person out there. It is too many of us to know exactly what person is in the biggest need of help at the moment. If the government gives us everything we need it won’t really help us later on. If they help us with everything people will become too dependent on the state and government. One cannot blame government for all of society’s problems that occur; one is also somewhat responsible of what happens with our lives. If we don’t make the right choice then things will start going bad and everyone can go poor out of nowhere. From one day to the next you could of lost everything and be out in the streets. The government does help and does not want to see anyone especially not families living on the streets. The government does help with food stamps to make sure people have food for themselves and their family. They provide medicade to provide good health; they even give us FAFSA to help us pay for college so that everyone can have an equal chance to have a good education. By providing us with an education they want to make sure we have a good future. By us having a good future it will also help the government because someone with a good future will mean they won’t need as much help from the government later on. Everyone will win with having an education; there will be more money left to help other people that are poor. “You cannot help people permanently by doing for them, what they can do for themselves.” This quote is also by Abraham Lincoln. It helps us understand everyone poor and not poor, everyone has to do everything they can to get higher in life and to survive. No one can be expecting to have everything done for them in life. No one will be holding your hand through your entire life and get your through everything safely. You have to get everything done on your own for you and your family until they are also old enough and capable of going through their own life’s alone. A lot of people believe that only the government can solve the problems of poverty. That is not true! There are other ways to get through life not just expecting someone to get you through your problem at all times.
