I feel torn. Obviously no one with morals wants to see others left behind in a capitalistic society. On the other hand welfare states seem like pyramid schemes and the further left you go with giving more power to government the worse the lives of citizens get.
I found Penn Jillette’s talk on YouTube about why he found libertarianism eye opening.

Still, our entire economic system seems ready to collapse. Many of our best business leaders are starting to agree that we may need to tax corporations that use robots and provide a reverse income tax to give people money to live.
