2. No, I don't think so...

I'd have to look it up, but I think that's one of the countries where the unemployment is like 95% of what you made and they help you find a job. Most people aren't out of work very long.

One of the main complaints you hear about socialism is the high tax rate. In those countries, you get health care, day care, decent vacation, education through college, and a decent retirement.

Here we pay our taxes, add in the property tax, the school tax and all the other 'little' taxes and our % of taxes exceeds theirs. What exactly do we get for our taxes?

Something to think about.
