You are mixing up lots of different ideas.

You can have net transfers to the poor without turning most of your country's into net recipients.

I also don't understand why you assume that people who are net recipients would stop complaining or voicing their opinion? That's not at all what happens in practice.

You're turning the "poors" into slaves, into slaves to the Government that is keeping them (the "poors") on the Government's payroll. I'm not "mixing" anything, so if we can please leave that condescending tone behind that would be best.

Why? You're asking why the "poors" will have second thoughts about openly criticising the hand that, literally, feeds them?
