socialism kills folks. as european governments struggle to stay above water, they take everything from their citizens. the intolerable requirements placed on businesses in europe is finally taking it's toll. the old addage "a government strong eough to give you everything you want, is strong enough to take it all away" has never been shown to be truer. these people elected people to take care of them with money that no one had, and now that it's time to collect, the government is taking it all back, and the people can't handle it. the suicide rate in europe is skyrocketing as those who have found themselves out of work are being slapped with massive tax collection notifications, ever increasing fines, and the loss of benefits. this is something we need to try and fix while we still can here in the US. canada should also take notice of what's happening in europe, before it's too late.
ad then people blame the governments for doing exactly what the people empowered them to do.
