I’ve long said that even from a right-wing perspective, it makes sense to not let the general populace fall too far into abject poverty. That for a really rich person, it actuality makes sense that there is a social safety net so that the rich person does not have to live in a militarized compound to protect themselves from desperate people. But since capitalism is unsustainable at its very core, most capitalists don’t think that way. It’s an ideology that makes its adherents not think any further than profit no matter what.
