    Ever heard of economics? Popular subject. Might be best to get a primer and have a quick glance. You might learn something.

    I think there has to be a balance between the protection a state owns its citizens on the one hand, and economic realities on the other. You seem to be concerned only with the latter from the way you have argued here, I'm sure Miotas was aware of the realities of the situation.

    So what if we lose out on some of our earning in the tax, that could have been more 'efficiently' spent from a purely materialistic viewpoint? It is worth it to know that if I ever had a disabled child, I could expect help in return. That's one of the main foundations for society and the state.
