Government worsens the problem of people too poor to get onto the circuit in
the first place by encouraging them to reproduce at taxpayer expense. People
too poor to get onto the circuit in the first place have too much time on
their hands, and consequently have too many kids, which amplifies the
problem in the last place. The free market provides a better solution by
discouraging the very poorest from having children.
If the free market did *not* always provide better solutions, it would not
be necessary for governments to maintain military forces to threaten
violence against any who disagree with government's "solutions" (which
haven't solved anything in the whole sad history of the race, but which have
produced monumental problems such as weapons of mass destruction).
