> The Welfare State is meant to be a stabilizing force to avoid social unrest and to guarantee that the elites can enjoy their power/status
Those are your beliefs, not facts.
The Welfare State exists because some politicians genuinely care about people and want to help those who fall ill or have a divorce and no where to live or lose their job etc.
Not all politicians are calculating sociopaths.
> You can not think of it as something that has a ROI,
Say that to the people in the US dying from cancer because they cannot afford the expensive treatments. Or a researcher 70+ years old, but who cannot retire (although he's 70+), because then he couldn't afford his medications.
Or youths without money to study at University.
Quite odd beliefs and ideas you've ended up with, from my perspective.
