I don't agree with you. My father drove a cab, and my mother stayed home. They were buying the house we lived in. 1950's, let's see a cabby do that today. It now takes two members working to not quite make ends meet. Of course it's called equality, not slavery. ho ho ho iconoclastrrman You have to admit it's getting better It's getting better All the Time

<The super-efficient economy we have today in the US and e.g. Germany is not possible without a equally more developed social system. The truth is that there is not necessarily a conflict between welfare and income.> Agreed, my whole point is that a spade should be called a spade.... ie. it's welfare. Why have all these other programs for each type of service dispensed. Keep it simple. By the way... even in Germany there is private and public health insurance, no? Also a fierce debate raging about the cost of the social programs no??? DAK
