The government can do something about Poverty

Poverty is the main problem in the society. Many people enduring. "Poverty is
hunger, Poverty is lack of shelter. Poverty is being sick and not being able to see a
doctor. Poverty is not having access to school and not knowing how to read." Poverty is
in ability to afford basics needs like shelter food, clothes, medicines and education.
Poverty should stop to avoid people died because of hunger and diseases. Poverty is
the reason why people make cry. Many people suffering different diseases because they
don’t have stable and clean house. Many people died because of hunger. Many people
do stealing at groceries to have a food everyday or many people harmed because of it.
Poverty is killing a lot of people.

There are many reasons why we should stop poverty and fight we need. Poverty
remains the most critical social problem that needs to be addressed. According to
Wikipedia, Philippines "Poverty line marks a per capital income of 16,841 pesos a year.
As for the data from the National Statistical Coordination Board, more than one quarter
(27.9%) of the population fell below the poverty line the first semester of 2012 overall
more than a third of the people of the Philippines live in poverty.

We cannot deny the fact that the government has really something to do in the growing
number of poor people in the country. The officials have the whole to eliminate at least
few of those who suffered. Those people in power should learn how to properly allocate
resources, so that all will be given the opportunity to prosper. In solution to alleviate
the least fortunate people in our country, the government should give priority to
education because this is the best solution I think to fight poverty and unknown author
once said, "Education is the gateway to eradicating poverty". Youths will not suffer the
same faith as their parents has experienced. Many people, children trying to stop
poverty, it is impossible to stop without the support and power of the government. This
is because to fight poverty, we have to fight it with a lot of money from the government
that could support us with this need.
