Don't distort what I wrote. I didn't write about "excessive freebies". I'm talking about the current welfare, healthcare and education policies people are used to benefit from in most western countries (except the US). Do you think a politician campaigning on an austerity policy (such as reduced welfare, healthcare benefits, more expensive education, ....higher retirement age, increased taxes) would likely be elected rather than someone promising that voters will keep the same benefits they have and that taxes won't be increased?
