Is poverty ever someone’s own fault? Or is the government always to blame?

🌹C

Here in the UK we’re dealing with a cost of living crisis and people are extremely angry with the Conservative party who are in charge of the UK right now.

Some people who are better off will argue that it you are poor it’s because you haven’t worked hard enough or are lazy.

Do you think sometimes if someone is poor it actually is their own doing, or is government always to blame?
