Why can't everyone get money and education?

Question

Most of the world is having fiat money which is a far cry from the gold-standard. The govts. worldwide have facilities and technology to print more notes and coins (currency). So, why don't they give some financial-education and some money to poor people so that invest it wisely or start a business or utilize that money to create wealth to get rich?

If you say this won't work, it clearly implies that this system of capitalism can never work to make everyone rich and to remove poverty from society. Then, why are we following this system at all? Though I'm in US but I'm talking of affairs outside US, in third-world as well as developing countries.

Why can't the govt. give education to all if it can remove world-poverty? An estimated $30b only are needed for global literacy and education whereas more that $1 Trillion have been spent on wars and on buying billions in weapons in the name of public-security. Why? Is this the proper utilization of public funds? Why do we need such govts?

Answer 1

Why do you want things "Given" to you.  Isn't it better to "EARN" for yourself?

Answer 2

FREE, FREE, FREE, Everyone wants something for nothing. Fact, when you GIVE someone something, they destroy it. Look at public housing, it's a joke people destroy the buildings the tax payers GAVE to them. Public schools in large cities like NY, and Chicago are a joke. The only way yo take care of something is to earn it. why SHOULD i PAY 300,000 for a house and the guy next door get a Govt. subsidized house for 150,000. When our ancestors came to this country, they worked hard and got an education. If that meant buying Bologna an hot dogs and Cheerios to eat then that was it. Now we give everybody what they want. If the Govt. stops giving out free bees, more of our tax $$$ will go to Schools and infrastructure, like it should.

Answer 3

Asking 'WHY' is your first mistake. Open your eyes and look around you! You suggest that the government "give some financial-education and some money to poor people so that [they can] invest it wisely or start a business or utilize that money to create wealth to get rich?" The government has and does but what have most of these 'poor people' done with it? Nothing! Pissed it all away on bullshit most of them! I pity the children but that's all.....

EDIT: Thank you Jassica T. How to manage money is something that should be taught in schools. If not High School where it's really needed, then at least in College....
