And how is it the welfare state has failed? At least here in Denmark, people only ought to be short on money if they become alcoholics or heavy smokers, and their mishaps makes them poor. Most people make do quite well even though both smoking and drinking.

Its not a flawless system, and the health care system probably doesnt save lives much better than in other countries, it has most of the flaws that modern health care systems does, but its still better than not having a place to rest when sick in my oppinion. The people working there, or at least most of them, actually want the patients to get better.

In Denmark we also have to pay outragous sums to have cars though, and the gas to run them. If you think you pay much for gas then Denmark is a nice place to compare to. We got about 100% or more tax total on our gas. I think there might be 1 or 2 countries with higher gas prices, but still no economic breakdown yet.

Its quite amazing how much money the state can take from us, and we still have more to give. The state does give alot of it back though, which I believe is a good thing.

"And how is it the welfare state has failed?"

A welfare state means 'workers' are ordered to hand over their property to others on penalty. Thats slavery.

There are better methods to provide the same service, only a better service without deductions for running the scheme.

Same with the health service. As DI says... a service that measures its success by the number they treat and not the number they cure is madness.

Its not that there shouldn't be provision's made for these services, its just that the way these desirable things are implemented today is a criminal enteprise which uses innacurate language to fool people.

"The state does give alot of it back though"

I do not believe this is the case. It gives a pittance back. Most income tax goes on interest payments, if not all of it.
