Poverty

I found a cartoon picture from the internet. there is a politician in the picture talking to some body on the phone saying:"you know it's getting more difficult to help the poor and downtrodden with all this new media attention." there are cameras and a microphone around him and money bags uner his feet.
In my opinion, this picture is really satirizing promise their people they will change the poor situation. however, most of them usually think about themselves. it's not that the country doesn't have money to help the poor, but the money goes to the pocket of the politicians. after the corrupting, there is not enough money for the development of the country. such a poor situation can never be changed. things get worthless sometimes.
About 20 years ago, there was a slaughter in Indonesia. aboriginal people killed a lot of Chinese-Indonesians. the reason for this slaughter is mostly because of money. they thought Chinese people were hypocritical, and that's why Chinese were richer. the Suharto government controlled over fifty percent of the entire funds. What an enormous number! the Suharto family told the Indonesians that Chinese extorted their money.
This is a cruel example, but it happened. Of course, it's almost impossible to change the government. i feel sad after seeing this picture. this picture uncovered a frustrating fact. as the development of the new media, more and more dark sites of those governments were exposed to people. i hope this method can solve the problems of these government.
