The main thrust of early conservatism was root-and-branch opposition to every form of social insurance: make the poor richer, and they would become more fertile. As a result, farm sizes would drop (as land was divided among ever more children), labor productivity would fall, and the poor would become even poorer.
早期保守主义的主要卖点是彻底反对任何形式的社会保险：让穷人变富，他们就会生更多孩子。结果，农场规模会下降（因为土地得分给越来越多的子女），劳动生产率会下降，而穷人会变得更穷。社会保险不但毫无意义；简直就是大逆不道。
