Yeah, but you don't want to encourage people to help society, festive - that's bordering on communism! Everyone out for themselves! Pass out copies of "Anthem"!
(No, seriously, my boyfriend and his mother have this argument all the time - a society that works on making a standard of living that's acceptable for everyone apparently means that a certain subset of people lose out by not being able to play the "keeping up with the Joneses" game. You are not worthwhile unless someone sees that you are doing much better off than them. You also lose individualism and character. Or something like that.)
