    That’s where you’re incorrect. Ending a government program hurts those at the bottom, ultimately removing them from becoming earners. They either become homeless or die. This takes away from their potential contributions to society. This lack of support unravels the social fabric and reduces the taxes to the government.

    In a modern society, a weak government means no negotiating power on the world stage. It means no group alliances, and no benefits from those alliances.

    Social safety nets just make sense.
