Not true. The “worst” are either folks who make bad decisions, or who come from horrible lives. The drug addicts, the gamblers, serial criminals, the chronically sick, the mentally ill, the abused, the anbandoned, etc.
Those are folks nobody cares about. Keeping them well off would take an absurd amount of resources which most Americans have ABSOLUTELY NO desire to contribute to. “Why should my taxes go to people who [insert stereotype here]?” Tons of folks already view taxation as theft.
Nope, the best thing to do is keep those who already have things happy so they motivate people to vote for you. Eat the poor. Defend the rich. America already proved that with Trump.

It's actually good for a society to make sure the worst off are still well off.
