@quincy The most effective "arguments" are probably jealoucy driven.
"Why would someone else get free money while I have to work for it".
This is likely followed closely by "arguments" appealing to a vague sense of it not being realistic, possible, or just not "imaginable"(an unknown that causes fear).
A sense of preserving a certain hierarchy and power through financial means also plays a role, even if just implicitly (like the poor nurse won't wipe your ass anymore, when you're old).

@quincy So the "strongest" "arguments", when it comes to effectiveness seem to be "others should suffer, because I have to", "something unforseeably bad will happen if we try" and "without financial leverage over others, I'll be powerless, helpless and others will neglect me, if I can't use financial pressure".
The non-emotional arguments are mostly just justifications to hide behind.
