[QUOTE="okafor, post: 58158370, member: 283924"] It doesn't end well. [b][url=http://danieljmitchell.wordpress.com/2011/07/15/two-pictures-that-perfectly-capture-the-rise-and-fall-of-the-welfare-state/]Rise and Fall of the Welfare State[/url][/b] [i]"In my speeches, especially when talking about the fiscal crisis in Europe (or the future fiscal crisis in America), I often warn that the welfare state reaches a point-of-no-return when the number of people riding in the wagon begins to outnumber the number of people pulling the wagon." "To be more specific, if more than 50 percent of the population is dependent on government (employed in the bureaucracy, living off welfare, receiving pensions, etc), it becomes rather difficult to form a coalition to fix the mess. This may explain why Greek politicians have resisted significant reforms, even though the nation faces a fiscal death spiral."[/i] [img]http://danieljmitchell.files.wordpress.com/2011/07/wagon-beginning.jpg?w=500&h=187[/img] [img]http://danieljmitchell.files.wordpress.com/2011/07/wagon-ending.jpg?w=500&h=257[/img] [/QUOTE]
