The fact is that you Tom, David and I provide those funds through taxes. You may think that it is a good thing for all of us that are fund provider's to pay a little more so that fund takers can live better. Basic economics does not support that because for every new taker added, there is one new provider lost. Eventually the Take will exceed the Put. Such a system can work for a while in low-population countries but even there the bill will someday come due.
This is compounded today by encouraging low/no income producing immigration with subsequent loss of tax income to the government for simply political purposes.

I think it does benefit. In terms of education, an educated populace does benefit all of us. They become the providers as opposed to takers.
In terms of health care, unless you intend to turn away those who cannot pay for care, it is a heck of a lot cheaper to pay for preventative health care than emergency care.
