Reply #101: The poor get money for a place to live and food to eat

it's not much, but its something.
that's a hell of a lot more than what the US often offers.
Since welfare is done by state and people are often shamed out of taking it the homeless and hunger problem only grows.
so yes, it IS a damned sight better here because we accept higher taxes!

Even the RICH here accept much much higher taxes (40-60% for 6+ incomes)

That's probably because they are taught in school to be responsible citizens, no matter what they make.

but that's just opinion.

I could be wrong.
