Well I considered additional social programs, social healthcare, growing government involvement and government expansion into the welfare of Americans, more government taxes, and people generally bein’ kept better by the government.  This will have an effect to easily satisfying a greater number of the populace..  Altogether, people will have less to worry about.  You can quit trying to bust your hump to get ahead because 70% of your income will go to taxes for the “disadvantaged” of our society.  Everyone can be more satisfied with their needed government assistance.  Heck, six weeks guaranteed vacation is okay with me, since those “rich folks” will be a payin’ fer it—Right?

Wrong.  When these things happen and you can, practically, no longer get ahead by hard work; you, too, may settle in for a comfortable life instead of studying hard to become a great surgeon or whatever.  Here’s the kicker..  When people become satisfied with what they have and the Government is meeting the needs of “its people”, and everyone is finally comfortable, then, most and almost all profits made above the bare minimum needed to keep all these folks happy is goin’ somewhere else..  You know that extra bit of somethin’ you were willing to bust your hump for?  It’s gone; it’s gone to the top.  Everything above the bare minimum of what the people need to keep them satisfied is out of our hands and fueling the fires of the Benefactors.
