A hard thing to explain about social democracy is that we WANT our taxes to go to the "undeserving."
Not because we're naive. Because it works.
Healthy people cost less. Educated people contribute more. Housed people are more stable.
The "undeserving" are actually pretty good investments.
But the main point is that in a healthy society there are no "undeserving". There are just people.

The viral texts by Norwegian user Trond Solberg on Threads, often titled "A Norwegian's Message to MAGA," explain the foundational principles of social democracy. Solberg argues that supporting social welfare systems—even for the "undeserving"—is a practical investment because healthy, educated, and housed populations create a more stable society. Furthermore, he clarifies that social democracy does not eliminate wealth or entrepreneurship, but rather ensures a higher baseline of living and essential services for everyone.?
