Does Government Glance at the Bigger Picture?

Does government at least take into consideration the interests and wants of the public? Or do they only look at the public from one extreme to another? Government establishes multiple agencies to help the poor and raises various prices, such as gasoline prices, to make the rich more rich. So, where does that leave the other 60% of us, known as the middle class? The ones who work hard for their education to put food on the table for their loved ones? A simple number of annual incomes per household don’t cover the amount of people living in it. And the result of this depletes the funding of financial aid for young adults who are graduating high school at a younger age than their parents. These young adults are also working on getting their education so that they can step into government’s shoes once their generation is over. A simple thought of it is, “sure, let’s drown them in debt with the rest of the country!”

Instead of government looking at the extremes, they should look into our public, our community, our country and launch ideas that will benefit us all in one way or another, so that the next generation has a fair chance at leading this country to success. Where will our country be if we only allow those more favored to benefit and make the decisions for the country? The ideas of maximizing profits and paying the littlest attention to those in poverty will only get us so far, but will do nothing for those of us in the middle class that do not qualify for half the opportunities. Government should base their decisions on the people’s and community’s choice, not the thoughts or wants of the extremes.
