On Government People Do Not Need

I wish there is a government that

• Creates environment where people can be empowered and become independent from the government.
• Then we don’t need that many state-funded programs.
• If people can take care of themselves and of others, they are independent, confident and have much less, or possibly no mental issues.
• Then we can have enough resources to support those who cannot be independent.

Alas, all the governments I am aware of desire to be needed so they support dependence of the citizens.
