I see a bit of a sideways perspective on this, and I think its a bit more insidious that even you guys realize.
The most valuable lessons in life are learned from losses. Failure causes a reaction, to be better, to train, to practice, to study, to improve. Success leads to complacency. Yes winning is good, but you have to stay sharp. Success leads to luxury leads to gluttony leads to failure.
There is a reason for the saying - 'stay hungry'. Deuteronomy 8:3 says - 'He humbled you and let you be hungry.' God needed them to be hungry before they would even learn a simple lesson, even a lesson that they had already learned before! Losers get better, losers learn lessons. It is dangerous for a child to have everything too easy. They will not develop deep roots of stability and wisdom, of resilience and tenacity.
These are characteristics and values that are not compatible with servility or dependence on government.
