Government of the rich, is what we see and what is being presented to us. Most Government tend to favor those who are rich and have more and greater influence in the society than the less poor or the lower class people in the society. It is important to know that the more power and wealthy you have will determine the greater your influence will be in the society.
In our own idea and how we see things, we might roughly decide or conclude that the government is favoring only the rich and doing more harm to the Poor or the lower classes. Many times government pump money into infrastructures, industries, banks and other sectors such as agricultural sectors, and people who utilize it are people who have the money to make more money. The ability of having a capital to make more money is what differentiate a poor man from a rich man in the society.
Government is making provisions and making way for people to utilize is not depend on who utilize it first, talking about government provision, let's take for example, government push money into agricultural sector, and the cross are to last for a year or let's say just for 6 months, the people who will be able to purchase this crops and make sells to have returns are people who have the money with them.
You don't expect the poor to immediately make a purchase of a product that will stay within the range of 6 months, before they could gather the money or even borrow from the rich, it will take some why before they can achieve that and if they do achieve it, there we have to pay back to the rich also because that is where they can get the money. So you see that the government is favoring those who have immediate and greater capacity, power, Money and influence. If you happen to be among those then you are just lucky.
The government favor both the poor and the rich body percentage at which it favored these two category of persons or individuals differs.
The rich tend to get greater part of the favor and the profit, that comes from the government, beyond the part that comes to the poor. So because of these we tend to categorize the that it favors more the rich than the poor, which is somehow true but logically wrong.
In my own point of view, government is not just for the rich it is for those who grab the opportunity and utilize it very well. The poor can utilize it including the rich as well, it all depends on how you are able to utilize it what you get in return and the capacity or the power in your utilization. You cannot invest $20,000 and expect to get same return with someone who invested $100,000. My actual investing power determines what my return will be and some goes to the government and the poor, including the rich, when the government great the opportunity, the ones who have greater power l, influence and potentials utilize it faster, and those who have lesser capacity power and influence, utilize it also but thereafter. What differs is when and how.
