Have a look around your local community and tell me what's needed, chances are you already have a decent selection of your usual Commodities so opening shop is always going to be a risk, a risk not many people can afford to take. If you give people social security then at the very least they won't starve if things go belly up, it allows most people to take that plunge rather than just those who already have a respectable portion of the countries wealth. Does this not help capitalism? is it worth cutting down the safety net just because you feel some are using it as a hammock? you don't need the fear of starving to death to motivate people, if you went out and done a survey you'd find unemployment and living on the breadline is more than enough.
