Abstract
Nearly all governments are involved in providing health services, pensions, disability compensation, and unemployment insurance to the citizens of their country. Western nations are heavily committed along these lines, characterizing a social net that is generally considered as live evidence of social ethics. They explicitly define minimum coverage and finance the associated programs with both revenue streams from taxation and by increasing the public debt.1
