I have already posted my problems with big govt. and govt. intervention/involvment into my life Cam, if you want go back and address it, if not we will agree to disagree. You want big brother looking after you, I do not plain and simple.
We have to agree to disagree. You're overstating the amount of intervention the government has in our lives over here as compared against yours. All it amounts to is a difference in the percentage of your salary our government takes as compared against yours for the provision of a wider raft of public services, in the interests of all citizens - society as a whole - as voted for by the citizen.

The absence of guns in our society is
a good thing. Last I hear I wasn't prevented from bludgeoning someone with whatever I find to hand in the event of a home invasion (one where the intruder is likely to have 0.001% chance of having a gun).

So even with govt, hand holding, you still have a similar unemployment level? How sad. Well at least you are willing/forced to cover their expenses as well. No sense in ALL of you needing to contribute with the amount of money your govt. takes from those that do.
It's not really that sad - yours is the model that is supposed to work perfectly efficiently: the fact being it is only marginally better in the unemployment stakes than over here. Hmmm. And there was I thinking everybody in socialist countries were lazy...
