I had to read the David Frum quote twice, as the first time I elided the middle. "Everyone is at constant risk of the loss of his job, or of the destruction of his business by a competitor, or of the crash of his investment portfolio. ...Without a safety net, people won’t try to vault across the big top." sounds to me like an argument FOR the social safety net. It took me a bit to realize why you were saying it was the opposite.

Maybe it's because I'm the sort of person who things a strong social safety net is a good thing.
