People won't be motivated to work. The best government is a mix of capitalism which allows the motivated to thrive and succeed (which in turn motivates others) and stellar safety nets which provide decent education, good healthcare, and stellar safety to its citizens. Necessities for living (and to [i]some[/i] extent the tools for bettering oneself) should be available to citizens, but people should always be able to rise [i]far [/i]above the unmotivated if they work. I just also tend to think that once you start making a ton that your earnings should be taxed higher to help keep your fellow citizens healthy and able to better themselves. Now, there [i]will[/i] be citizens that don't want to rise above existing those will be utter drains, but I feel like a desire for luxuries (seeing movies, ordering pizza, going to bars, buying a good TV) will motivate others into working hard.
