While that&#x27;s true, holding everyone by force is the most primitive and inefficient (in terms of common good) solution I can think of. For example, the safety net is in fact an early stage investment so it would be logical if the government providing the safety net would take equity in exchange. In fact that&#x27;s one of the reasons why safety nets aren&#x27;t such a good idea. The government essentially becomes an angel fund that funds every single idea no matter how dumb. Can&#x27;t imagine this bringing about an optimal outcome.
