I don't know who you think ever said the welfare state was free. I've always said I'm for much higher taxes. I like social services, but I want to pay for them- and I want YOU to pay for them too. So welcome. Hope your wallet has some cash in it.

The only problem is that this is most assuredly not what the Democrats and Obama are currently implementing. You are getting the social services that you want, but the costs are going to be paid for by a tiny percentage of the population (the very rich) and by your children and grandchildren. For most, this drastic increase in government services really is going to look free. That isnt a particularly good outcome over the long-term.
