Subject: Re: what I consider to be a better understanding of the world & politics,

Artful Dodger: In australia we have free education, free health care, nearly $600 per fortnight for the bludgers on the dole who refuse to go to work...all they have to do is apply for 2 jobs per week( I think it is) to collect that. Everybody gets paid to have babies...$2000 per child so you have the trollops of society having heaps of kids and then when the money has gone on drugs etc the Govt. looks after the kids with a payment every month - called "Child support"...I have a feeling that it depends on how much you have....rich get nothing , poor get it all. They dont have to work for any of this.

As you say free health care is a meaningless point when it is a god given right.....people expect it and really kick up when it isnt received.

I think either New Zealand or Australia is the Leader in social services and sets examples to the rest of the world.....not that they are good examples, when the bludgers abuse it.
