Several people think that people should start doing for themselves and not relying heavily on assistance. However, most of the people stating that have what they need and are angry at those who do not. The government was made for a reason. The reason was to help the people and work in their advantage. With that in mind, the government should take on the responsibility to solve the problems of the nation and communities because they have the resources, the power, and knowledge.

Several problems people face today require extra resources to fix them. Most people do not have access to the tools needed. The government, however, does. The government has the power to get the resources if they do not have them already. The government has the technology and man power to get the job done and yet want the people to figure things out on their own sometimes.

Some individuals do not have the power to do things on their own starting out. This is why the government was made. It was made to help those who have given it power. Without the people there would be no government. So, why not have the government deal with the headaches and disasters with us.

Knowledge is the key for everything in life. The people elect government officials that obtain knowledge so that it can be used. There is not one incident in which an official did not have knowledge on mostly everything going on in the nation he/she is governing. They should and need to use it.

So in the end, the people are the government, so why would anyone think that the government should hold back and let the people work things out on their own. The nation would not get anywhere if that were the case. Poverty would be bigger than it is now due to the lack there of. The government is basically the backbone to this nation, so we count on it to keep our communities and nation stable.
