That is one reason smaller government is better.

If government doesn't provide that much welfare with tax payer's money, they will do better in general, because they learn harder. Invoking people's responsibility is the key. Only Lazy (mentally, and physically) people are willingly depend on Government to substitute their own decision (that's another story).
