Essentially the same in Sweden. If you are well off you can enjoy many different systems and laws, from paid for private schools to secure employment and good benefits. While those young and worse off are facing cutbacks and insecurity. I really think it is a perversion of the welfare state at this point. Which can be hard to fully grasp for those that haven't experienced it.

That's the general argument against big government and even big business. It creates inefficiency because somebody else is spending the money that is removed from the current situation.
No. It's an argument for stronger protection of labor against exploitation, often also called efficiency.
