Basically bribing the have not to behaveThat's because it is simple. Most people that receive government social services are working. Take away those services and a large segment will respond in a manor far more objectionable than goverment subsidies.The same argument over and over. Why force people to pay for others college education, healthcare, public housing, food stamps, public education, etc.... The answer as always, is it benefits the nation to have a more educated workforce, healthier population, people living in buildings instead of the gutters, children in school instead prostitution and stealing on the streets.Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren join forces to make college free
As ANY sane country would want and MANY in Europe HAVE done. Its idiotic to PUNISH people to want to be educated....in due time...it will happen.
Yeah? So what is it when you force others to pay for your college education?
Thats a rather simplistic view as it leaves out human nature.
The basic impetus behind social services has never been the milk of human kindness but rather to keep the "have nots" from rising up against the "haves" or to improve the economy, or prevent the spread of disease, etc...
