If you take a closer look at that, it's insane. Generating unnecessary government consumption to generate superfluous work to distribute goods to the working class. Just to keep the system running as it is. People don't like to work, so they shouldn't have to work when not necessary.
I live in a welfare state with relatively high taxation, it has a lot of its own problems, but it never had to go to war to prevent unemployment and poverty in the lowest classes. 32 hour work weeks, a four week paid vacation per year and a generous social spending on every level do the trick too. We don't need to generate values only to let politicians waste them in the next second. Where we waste them, we waste them the convenient way. With a good private life.
