I don't think most of the "poverty" class would be viable without government aid/interference. Schedule A drugs alone, if cheaply and safely available, would catalyze the self-destruction of huge sectors of society. Social darwinism FTW. (Obviously drug dealers would be the fastest beneficiaries of AC.)

Basically I think the government is allowing poor people to survive and reproduce at levels that would be nonviable otherwise.

The war on drugs is probably one of the biggest wastes of money. Money that could be spent on helping those with addiction and those that are in poverty. We need to hurt the poor to help the poor? Doesnt make too much sense.
