In Economic terms this is the same argument that Unions use to preserve wage levels.
It is also the same argument that suggests Child Labour is corrupt and exploitative whilst taking employment from men with families to feed.
The problem for the unfortunate is what is the alternative ?
Having a Licence and a Job it is only natural to want to protect that hard earned wage. It is also the equivalent to "Pull the ladder up Jack - I am OK"
Society is not fair. Breaking someone's legs may not be the best solution.
