My brother is a VP living in Switzerland right now. He says Germany and Swiss have great countries/economies. Everyone has a job, everyone is paid well and they have lots of services including healthcare.
We want a fair wage for our hard work and we want something for all the taxes we pay. Nothings free my friend.
But I am starting to agree with you when it comes to poor people having kids. They want our taxes to go up to subsodize day care? **** that. If you can't afford a kid don't have one. I think we are over populated as is. No reason to encourage the poor to have kids.
But that really isn't true for the GOP. The fact is they love poor people having kids. Cheap labor. Keeps wages down.
The Swiss are in a class all by themselves kind of like Hong Kong. The US will never be Switzerland and if the Swiss had our FSA they would be screwed up also.
Even with the massive welfare we poured into Germany after WWII the Germans have had relatively high unemployment and economic growth compared to the US. Their standard of living is lower than ours.
In economic freedom ranking in the world the US is number 12 and Germany is number 16, according to the Heritage Foundation.
However, thanks to idiots like Obama and the Moon Bats that voted for him the US is fast becoming a soulless European style socialist shithole that will have chronic high unemployment, low economic growth and massive debt.
