When a state possesses substantial wealth and resources, it has the potential to provide assistance and support to numerous individuals and groups within society. However, if the wealth is concentrated solely among a select few families, the ability to help others diminishes, and the overall flow of money becomes chaotic.
A healthy and balanced economy relies on a fair distribution of wealth, where resources are accessible to a broader population. When wealth is concentrated in the hands of a privileged few, it can lead to economic instability and societal imbalances. The lack of opportunities and resources for the majority of the population can hinder social progress and hinder the overall development of the nation.
In contrast, when a state fosters an environment that promotes economic inclusivity and equitable wealth distribution, it allows for the flourishing of individual groups and communities. By ensuring that resources are accessible to a wider population, the state can stimulate economic growth, encourage entrepreneurship, and improve the overall well-being of its citizens.
It is crucial for states to implement policies that promote a fair distribution of wealth and opportunities, creating an environment where everyone can thrive. By doing so, they can avoid the detrimental effects of concentrated wealth and foster a more stable and prosperous society.
Across the globe, budget announcements have often aimed to cater to the needs of the general public. However, in Pakistan, it appears that the allocated budgets primarily satisfy a select group of individuals, namely government employees, bureaucrats, politicians, and the military. This situation stands in contrast to developing countries where citizens willingly pay taxes, anticipating improved living conditions as a return on their investment. Unfortunately, in Pakistan, disillusioned individuals often choose to flee the country due to the lack of adequate facilities and opportunities.

In the spirit of patriotism, it would be beneficial for individuals, including public servants, to exhibit volunteerism and actively contribute to the betterment of society. By doing so, they can contribute to the overall development of the nation and create a more inclusive and prosperous environment for all.
"A rising tide should lift all boats, not just a select few."
