Why didn't you answer my questions? Heck, the first one only required yes or no. No offence, but while I happen currently to agree with the minarchist/libertarian view that you seem to have, your arguments seem a bit off.
Social Security: People that dont work will cost the state money. Costing the state money is BAD.
You see, someone from the economic left wing would take issue with your argument already. They would say (no offence to left-wingers if this is wrong, but I'm pretty sure it's right) that costing the state money
isn't a bad thing. In fact, what is the point of the state if it doesn't spend money? The state is a tool for the distribution of money, whatever way you look at it. The state isn't a Corporation, it's non-profit, or at least it should be. Not only is giving aid from the state to people who cannot work not a bad thing, but it is a fundamental reason for the existence of the state. Of course, they hold the principle that "he who shall not work, neither shall he eat": but what about he who
cannot work. He has needs too. "From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs."
Now the rest of your paragraph is just absurd, even to me. Make a camp for people who can't work? Set them apart from the rest of humanity: the normals? Demean them by forcing them to live in something that can only be compared with a prison camp? How is that a better use of money? If anything, it's probably more expensive to build a camp, transport people there, feed and clothe and look after them, etc., than just give them a part of the "camp budget" for them to sort themselves out? Your proposal is just a bureaucratised and highly inefficient, by the looks of it, system of social security.

A left-wing person would argue that this is capitalism in all its evil glory. Consider that only a person with enough money can afford health insurance and thus healthcare. That's true, right? So only people with enough money should be able to have healthcare? So if you don't have enough money you should just die of whatever disease you've got? So the value of your life is entirely based on money? That applies just as well, although perhaps not so dramatically, to everything you mention here.
Those mad lefties, huh?
