When the government provides a vending machine that dispenses gold coins at the push of a button, how many of us could resist pushing that button as much as possible?
A society cannot be run on expecting people to resist the powerful incentives set up for them.
You can see this effect in every aspect of government operations.

If too many of us would literally cut off the limbs of others unnecessarily to acquire said gold coins than we're done here. Let's just burn it all down and start over.
