Help me automate conflict resolution and cost-benefit analysis for this statement: 

"It may seem like a strange paradox, but those societies that guarantee the most for their poor, often end up giving them the least."

1. Clarify Positions

Reasons to agree.

1. The free market leads to better quality.
2. Willing and eager labor is impossible without incentive.
3. Communist countries are less efficient, and so they are less capable of providing for the poor.
4. When you let heartless businesspeople make decisions, they end up making decisions that provide for the greatest efficiencies, which results in prosperity for all.
5. A government powerful enough to give everything to its citizens is also powerful enough to take everything away from them.
6. This profit motive DIMINISHES as government controls, regulations and taxes INCREASE to deny the fruits of success to those who produce. Therefore, any attempt THROUGH GOVERNMENTAL INTERVENTION to redistribute the material rewards of labor can only result in the eventual destruction of the productive base of society, without which real abundance and security for more than the ruling elite is quite impossible.
7. Free market competition leads to better quality goods and services.
8. Workers are more motivated when their livelihood depends on their performance.
9. Without the fear of poverty, people may lack the incentive to work hard.
10. Communist countries are less efficient and thus less capable of providing for the poor.
11. Profit-driven decisions by businesses can lead to greater efficiency and prosperity for all.
12. A government powerful enough to provide everything can also take everything away.
13. Increased government control and taxation diminish the profit motive and can destroy the productive base of society.

Reasons to disagree

1. "From each according to his ability, to each according to his need" is fundamentally a good idea". -15
