Certainly depends.

Everybody pays a small amount as an insurance so the core functions of a society is maintained, it's not a cost, it's a necessary essential for any civilized society, that's what some of the salary is for; it's just not easy to see that because it doesn't go to just one thing. It cost the society way more to have sick and dying people; add that in your 5th grade class curriculum as well. Not everything can be measured in money, and not every money can be measured. Your money isn't going to be worth anything if the society collapses.
