It's not strange to someone who lives in a union, consisting of 500 million people, which does this.

My guess is that you want a better life quality than buying your meals from food stamps, living in a project or being forced to go to the ER for medical care.
All these are things that are paid/subsided by tax money. I am not talking about quality or quantity, that's a whole other topic worth discussing.
I'm talking about that basic human needs that should be covered. To me, education is also one of those. Covering the basic needs, that would really mean to level the playing field. If people want better food than ramen, then they should get their asses up and do something about.
I also think that a social net that's worthy of its name, would significantly reduce petty crime and all the costs that are associated with it.
