I am conflicted on this issue. On the one hand, I believe in a situation where perseverance and risk taking is rewarded. On the other, it is true that many people with bright ideas do not go the startup route because they have family responsibilities or something similar that holds them back.

It's too simplistic to say that a social safety net will encourage entrepreneurship. It will probably enable more people to start up companies, esp in the tech sector, but it will equally lead to more deadwood entering the system.
