Evolution and (what you presumably refer to as) natural selection don't work that way. It is a pernicious mistake to apply 'evolution' and 'natural selection' to everything. In the interest of good science and the society's well being [1] we should resist the temptation to unscrupulously apply 'evolution' in non-specific, and non-evolutionary biology contexts. Social Darwinism is especially pernicious.
