We're all glad.
[quote="Dokuritsu Nippon";p="9180841"Really, it seems rather absurd that Western nations, with so much larger GDP per capitas, and thus the means of actually improving the conditions for their people, don't give enough of a shit about their own citizens to actually improve their conditions, and yet claim moral superiority over nations that strive for the same with so many fewer resources to work with.
I would rather live in a country where the government doesn't give me everything and lets me do whatever the heck I want, than in a country where the government provides me everything and only lets me do things on their approved list.[/quote]
I have to agree with that statement to some degree, to me what I think is necessary and should be provided by the government is, Housing, Food, Water, Electricity, and Healthcare. Other than that, you want it, you need to work for it. I call those the 5 necessities.
