Because it stops you trying. This is the core of the right wing credo. (**** me, but here I go...) In the UK during the 80's we had a right-wing government which systematically destroyed public services. Their idea was that if the NHS and state education were bad enough, then people would look elsewhere. In order to do this, people needed to earn more money - ie work harder. Plus the economy would be boosted by people paying for said healthcare and education.
