Governments do not solve poverty.
They are marketing poverty.
They are building headlines, not homes.
As my father taught me:
“If you reward something with money, you get more of it — even when it’s the very problem you’re trying to solve.”
Government doesn’t cure poverty.
- Government preserves poverty — and manages it.
- It builds a system where politicians stay employed as “saviours”
- while the people they claim to help stay trapped in endless need.
- Politicians become rich at the expense of those that they are supposed to serve.
- The real solution is prosperity, not dependency.
- Prosperity does not come from municipal speeches.
- It comes from freedom.
- Government has spent trillions “fighting poverty” —
- Today, there is more poverty, than ever before.
- Because when you reward dependency, you grow dependency.
- When you subsidize dysfunction, you entrench dysfunction.
- Real compassion demands results — not slogans.
And the truth is:
The private sector, voluntary associations, religious organizations, and local communities have always been better at helping the poor than government bureaucracies.
- Private charities are leaner.
- They are more accountable.
- They are funded by people who choose to give — not by people who are forced to hand over their earnings under threat of losing their homes.
- When help is voluntary, it is efficient.
- When help is voluntary, it is personal.
- When help is voluntary, it fosters dignity — not dependency.
In a freer system
- where people were allowed to build, invest, and grow without bureaucratic strangulation
- there would be more jobs, more opportunity, and more genuine prosperity for everyone, including the poor.
- The real solution is not endless taxes to fund bloated municipalities and government.
- The real solution is to create a society where fewer and fewer people need handouts in the first place.
- Freedom helps the poor.
- Bureaucracy traps them.
A closing thought:
- You were not born to serve government. 🚫👑
- Government was created — supposedly — to serve you.
- When it stops doing that,
- when it forgets its place,
- when it becomes a master rather than a servant,
- when it extracts and controls instead of protects and enables —
It is not you who have failed.
- ⚡️ It is the system that has failed us all.
- And it’s time we stopped pretending otherwise, a better future will not come from pleading with politicians for they are corrupt.
- It will not come from voting for “better managers they become corrupt.”
- It will come from reclaiming the simple truth:
- Freedom is not the enemy. 🕊️
- Freedom is the solution.
