People should not depend on the government to solve every problem of the people because then they start to lose their independence and individualism. The government will not solve all the problems for the people. If one person can solve their own problems and are willing to help another it can make some lives better even if it is just a little bit. If that one individual helps then that individual can make a big difference for everyone. The government should not be big and all powerful because then the people’s rights are being consumed by laziness. The people should help themselves and each other.

The government will not solve every small problem for the people so the government should only help us when the problem has become too big for any individual to handle. The individual must solve their own problem using their own power. The government should only help the people as a last resort when their own power doesn’t work. The daily lives of the people can happen without the help of the government’s power; so there is no reason to use them every day. When the people get into a great struggle that is too great for them to handle or solve by themselves; at that time is when the people should depend on the government.
