Ding ding ding!

If a company can extract more value out of its workers while paying them less, that means the company is doing good. If this happens across a bunch of companies, that means the economy is doing good. All because they're getting more value from our labor than the crumbs they toss to us.

And for a lot of programs, the means testing that has to be done to allocate budget does give money to people who actually need it, like the poor. However, this creates a resentment from people who aren't getting the program. This resentment can be eliminated by making the program universal. This is why things like Social Security and MediCare are so popular: Everyone gets them, even if they don't need them, so everyone sees a benefit.
