    Unless you can reverse that, go back to letting those who won't help themselves go completely, then you have to put in incentives to being in control.
    Good points. Sounds like more of a philosophical disagreement then.

    I'm on the side of those who are "willfully killing himself and stealing from others to enable it", to just let them die or perish. I don't think that "the best of us" and "the worst of us" deserve equal treatment at all. Not if "the worst of us" are doing it "willfully".

    Might seem a bit hash, but is what is.
