The “POINT OF NO RETURN” according to Mises:
"A state becomes virtually unreformable at the point where the majority of the population is financially or structurally dependent on the state (public employees, civil servants, recipients of subsidies or aid, beneficiaries of transfers, etc.).
As soon as the group of those who clearly benefit from or are supported by the state is larger than the group that does not, the system blocks reforms, since the majority votes in its own interest to maintain or expand state benefits.”
