Douglas,

Your arguement would be right if economic policy was completely
separated from social responsibility.

In the practical world, No politician can afford to do that since the
only justification for the existence of Governments (which are populated
by politicians) is their preparedness to Improve the fate of the
disadvantaged. (I omit the assertion of soveireign rights, in the
interest of focussing on the issue.)
