What do people think about this?

Question

Even though there is higher taxes in the Scandanavian countries they have: less poverty, less homelessness, less crime, less infant mortality, less domestic violence, less child hunger, less untreated illness, etc.

I think higher taxes is a small price to pay for all that good.

Answer 1

im not so sure they are both related. im sure we could have many of those things if our gov't cared to push them!

Answer 2

You forgot to say they are less anal too.  They make more room for the human being.  Yes higher taxes are a small price to pay for that, but we need to know that money is going to what we want it to go to!  We are so used to government spending away our contributions for things like war or whatever.  We can't trust them to do what we want.
