Answer 1

I'm thinking it's concern for the poor. He's basically saying that a government who's people are poor is why the government is poor.

Answer 2

laissez-faire policies by the government toward business

Answer 3

@taylorsydneyy If you're to give a direct answer, you need evidence or thoughts to support it.

Answer 4

Well no it is not aissez-faire policies by the government toward business, but I do believe that it is care and concern for the less fortunate

Same! Because generally I'll post a question and have no idea what I'm supposed to be doing, so it's nice when someone patient works it out with you. XD

Answer 12

Yes definitely! I like it when the person works out the problem or equation with you, so you can get an idea of how to solve it and work it out in the process.

Answer 13

Indeed, because when I have multiple problems of the same type of question I can just look back at it so I don't have to bother anyone lol.
