Not sure if you expect me to go through the exact numbers, but no.
Most people, when they are offered free money for "not asking where it came from", they will take it.
Aditionally, money given by government is not money generated by the government. It is not even money taken from the rich. But is is amount of money that the guy who knows how to be productive cannot spend on generating even more value for people around him.
So I see no reason, why your example of a country should be different. I live in a small country too BTW, and there are groups of people who instead of working, know about every single social program, and how to fill applications, in order to get the most...
They simply do not care, because they do not see the work on the other side of their paycheck.
@realcaseyrollins @stux
In family, you are taking from people you know and care about. Their suffering is known to you and they can be reasoned with. Problem with redistribution through government becomes unbearable the moment you do not see the effect of money being taken away for your benefit.
@realcaseyrollins @stux
I agree with you there. Communism does not scale qell, but it can be maintained in the scale of..... FAMILY.
Maybe close friends, and potentially even a small village (30 people would be my theoretical cutting point). Anything beyond that becomes an arms race in stealing from the productive few.
@realcaseyrollins @stux
Well, no. There are next to none commie policies that lead to a better country.

@nik everyone has three phases in life.
young and poor = give me free money!
middle-aged taxpayer = stop taking my money!
old and retired = give me free money!
