Yes sadly we have for decades now "protected" those too stupid to not get hurt. Instead of letting things work out on their own we keep passing more laws to protect the really dumb from the pain they cause. Not to mention we then let many of them crank out kids that we who work are supposed to support.I read the average IQ in the US is about "98", by most all IQ standards this is also about the middle of the intelligence spectrum. My guess is if 98 is the average then there are way more people below average than the median percentile. There is an old adage (I hate to use the term "idiom" here...) that a "chain is only as strong as its weakest link".
Society definitely pays the price to carry the weaker link.....
