In other words, there are all kinds of talents and lack of same. In a just society, which means equality of condition - everyone will be able to earn a reasonable living. Those few who are in desperate straits will be provided for privately -they always have.

The coming of the welfare state increases the number who "need" welfare. Now everyone gets privileges, from the poor who get food stamps to the middleclass who get tax relief on to the rich who enjoy privilege in quantity.
I agree. Whenever people are given a way out of conditions that do not appeal to them, they will take it, just like steam will eacape thru a safety valve, or, in a town where the churcdh offers refuge, all the "wanted" will be in church. One could call this the Nadir Principle, after Ralph Nadir (spelling intended as written) who said that if Bush got elected that might motivate the liberals to get off their duffs.
