 		 #136308 - Too much state
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Erik Malund said:

once more I quote without knowing where and who:
"Denmark has so much taxes that you can't live and so much social security that you can't die"


I don't deny there can be "too much" state, there can also be "too little". We had a very viable health care system in the UK long before the advent of the NHS, organised in co-operative groups. What we have now is little better, and the last 10 years have taught the English that (vastly) more spending != better services.
