>Sounds like you're someone who's never worked a day in his life and never actually told his supervisors to go pound salt.
Nah. Guess again.
>You mean people would be more reliant upon the government and companies rather than being independent?
If by independence in the USA, you mean being let go with a zero day notice policy in 99% of companies, meanwhile you're expected to put in a 2 weeks notice or have it reflect badly on future employment prospects, sure. People are reliant on employment, but employment isn't reliant on them because 90% of people are replaceable.
>West Taiwan's economy IS collapsing.
<JUST TWO MORE WEEKS MONTHS YEARS!
They've been collapsing for a very long time then.
>Yet their economies are in even worse shape than America. In fact, half the continent is suffering from mass protests and riots.
If Americans had any spine, they'd do the same.
>Aren't European taxes 50% compared to (In the wealthier parts) 20% in the states?
The USA has more wealth though, and so takes in a larger volume of tax money given equal taxes. So only a fraction of what's paid into the US's taxes is needed to match the Euros.
>FUCKING WELFARE ($4.8 trillion)
Look at how it's broken down though. Medicare and Medicaid, as I showed, aren't actually going to help people, they're going to line the pockets of middlemen administrators. Social Security is fucked six ways to Sunday, a fair chunk of it is tax credits and rebates, "other" is as much as social security, and is probably also an embezzlement black hole. There's tons of room to cut down on spending without fucking over the average person. Most of what's on here isn't simple "FUCKING WELFARE" as the average person would interpret the term, that is, money directly going to lazy niggers living on food stamps, but various other kinds of wasteful spending.
