There are certain things we do because we are humans who care about other humans.
Not everything the government does is 100% profit driven. If so then slavery would still be legal. So would child labor. There would be no foodstamps and people would be starving and eating out of dumps. Many citizens would be living in unsanitary ghetto conditions.
When a society is thriving the less fortunate should not be left behind to suffer. It just isn't the humane thing to do.
I am not talking about an idealistic world where everyone is equal. I just want the people who have amassed incredible amounts of wealth to pay a very small potion so that all of society thrives.
