Fuel price=TAXES= social assistance=better standard of life

Not from where I am sitting.

The productive all across europe get ripped off to buy votes from the idle
and indolent, leaving them with little for their one well being.

One cannot have a 'better standard of life' when the state is confiscating
3/4s of ones lifetime earnings via direct and indirect taxation.

The only people to have a 'better standard of life' are those who spend
their entire existence suckling at the public teat.

It will be interesting over the next 10 years to see how Western Europe handles
it, as their population ages even more, with much less younger people to help
pay into the system, in proportion to those who are retired and recieving the
benefits of such a social program.
