Japan is a very socialist country. And you know what? I LOVE IT! Japan has pretty much universal health care. They have awesome worker's rights. But if you think you are going to be lazy and live off the money other people earn here in Japan, you're sorely mistaken.

Same here in Holland, so I assume you agree that a more social system can work very well when there's a good check and balance system to prevent abuse.

When I understand correctly, welfare gets abused in the US because of the lack of a check and balance system to inspect how it's enforced, not because of the existance of the system itself.
