Why wouldn't every country in the world WANT its citizens to be healthy and knowledgeable?

Why wouldn't EVERY COUNTRY's government place the HEALTH/EDUCATION of its citizens FIRST? What is government for but to promote the well-being of ALL ITS CITIZENS? Is an ignorant and sickly electorate best for Pols or is a knowledgable and healthy electorate best for everyone? As head of state what would YOUR priorities be for the citizens of your country and why?

    I think it is because some people really believe ambition is a main engine for creating wealth.

    Once you have accepted that as an universal truth it follows logically that making people less wealthy will result in more wealth for everyone. Or something like that ;-))

    In other words selfish self-centered GREED drives ambition and creates wealth. Too bad. Thank you for your reply JakobA and Happy Monday! :)

    You might also want to make a closer examination of terms like "disposable income" and "self-betterment"

    Because sick, ignorant people are easier to control.
