That goes against the state claiming to care for the well-being of its citizens. People may have different standards for well-being, but there are still fundamental necessities that need to be met like food, water, shelter and social interaction. I'm also not saying that people shouldn't have to work, but they should be able to enjoy their work and find it fulfilling, and not have to constantly worry about losing their job and thus having their life thrust into turmoil.

Why? What gives them that right? I dont need a nanny state to "care" for me. I'm not a child. If they want me to have a good life then get out of my way. The states job is to to ensure that no one is killing, murdering or raping people and no one invades our country. That's pretty much it.

I'm not saying what the state's job should be, I'm saying what it is. They have welfare policies that provide for the population, because when they didn't the workers revolted and they had to do it to salvage the system.
