But that’s what I’m saying, it’s like when you drive, do you trust everyone not to get into accidents? Ofc not, you rely on them caring about their own lives and risk it. There will always be a risk. And if they save or not is not our problem, if the government lowered tax and gave people more money so they COULD save if they wanted to then from then on it’s our own responsibility.

Your example is perfect. We dont trust everyone not to get into accidents that is why we require everyone that drives to have insurance so they can pay for deamages as we dont think everyone would save the money to pay for a potential accient.
Also you pay 20% in but not everyone get 20% out. Some might get out more others get out less, this way we can make sure everyone still can pay atleast for basic things.

Not really. If there are a lot of people that, for whatever reason, don't save their money and instead spend it then the prices will adjust accordingly and those that do save get less for their money.
Also, the state still has the responsibility to care for its citizens, even if they got there by their own fault.
