A bad government may have a lot of money, as do other rich people, but they are greedy and can’t part with their money, even to save the people of their countries lives.

For example, they have the right to fresh safe plumbing (running water, toilet facilities), food, education, and a safe environment to live and work in. The governments allow sweatshops for companies like Nike into the country to make money, and has no minimum pay for the employees who are forced to work there to keep themselves alive, and are payed as little as $1 a day. No plumbing or sewerage is supplied either, so the people are forced to live in their own filth and drink polluted
