- | The modern [[welfare state]] has been criticized on economic and moral grounds from all ends of the political spectrum. [[Classical liberal]]s, [[libertarian]]s, and [[conservative]]s often argue that the provision of tax-funded services or [[transfer payment]]s reduces the incentive for workers to seek employment, thereby reducing the need to work, reducing the rewards of work, and exacerbating poverty. On the other hand, [[socialist]]s typically criticize the welfare state as championed by liberals and social democrats as an attempt to legitimize and strengthen the [[capitalist]] economic system, which conflicts with the socialist goal of replacing capitalism with a socialist economic system. | + | |
