All good points FM. I definitely agree the human benefits are massive, relative to a large population without government welfare.
In terms of economic benefits. I just think about things like; at what point does welfare spending start having negative effects? So if we taxed everyone highly, and spent most of it on programs helping those towards the bottom of the income bracket, would the system still work?
