As an engineer that moved to Europe - everyone benefits from the social welfare system.

I benefit by not having to worry about the homeless druggie assaulting me and on a more values-based level, by not feeling like shit for living like a king while the druggie has to be homeless.

The taxes are a membership fee for living in a society that isn't permeated with cruelty and violence.

Plus, they pay for stuff like working public transport etc as well.

I mean, the studies are still out in the world and homeless. Moving to another country doesn't change that.

		Moving to another country where drug addicts get help instead of being left to fend for themselves and paying my taxes there is a way to vote with my wallet on the sort of system I'd like to see - namely, one of compassion.
