You'd love it there. You can go and live off the working few. Which seems to be exactly what you have in mind. (Beware, though -- they're starting to come around to the idea they can't keep this up forever -- they've cut in half the period during which a person can live on unemployment benefits).

The largest public sector (30% of the entire workforce on a full-time basis [22]) is financed by the world's highest taxes.
