[The First Purge] About the government's role...

I wasn't sure if this would be considered a spoiler, so I thought I'd play it safe. My question:

Why did the government want to kill the poor, criminals, minorities, etc...?

Because the government is *seriously* corrupt. They're more worried about their investors  and special interest groups, who have taken the reins of power and shifted the guiding purpose of authority from helping the people to helping line the pockets of a few mega-billionaires who don't give two shits about the people at the bottom of the pile. 

This has always been the way to keep society in line. Create arbitrary "classes," make the people in the middle feel like they're superior to *someone.* Then turn them against each other. The people in the middle are too worried about the people "beneath" them to notice the fact that you're fucking them all over the same. In Purge-America, they've taken the "turn them against each other" and dialed it up to eleven.
