enlightened self-interest or you're part of problem

Alot of wealthy people are doing just fine without understanding that it's in their interest to help others who aren't doing well.

The others may not being well as a result of laziness, lack of business acumen, lack of "living wage" job opportunities, illness and or disability, little or nothing passed on and/or contributed to from the previous generation(s), being in the wrong place at the wrong time, etc.

But whatever the cause, some of these hapless folks will end up in the military or as criminals or as hackers or as suicidal zealots or worse.

It is in the interest of everyone to prevent these outcomes for the sake of all, including each individual personally responsible and liberty seeking, who wants to minimize the chance of becoming a victim of these people described above.

How it's done is important since government is capable of more than just corporate welfare.

For example, I can't imagine 1 or more individuals and/or businesess and/or organizations paving just the part of the street in front and/or in back and/or on the side(s) of his/her/their/its property.

It's necessary to have standards that only governments can efficiently enforce.

Government is the baby and lately sociopaths have been a toxic, poisnous bath water.

Let's not "throw the baby out with the bath water."

Instead, let's destroy the current bath water and replace it with something clean that will benefit everyone, thus benefiting those with something to lose.

This is called enlightened self-interest.
