There is little to no evidence to support this claim. Whereas what I'm talking about was done after the great depression and developed a lot of infrastructure, especially in rural America, that wouldn't have existed otherwise.

how many of those who have enough money to never work again, never work again?

you severely underestimate the psychological desire to be useful and live a fulfilling life.

the evidence is there - it's ideological convictions that prevent you from seeing and accepting it.
