Really? Even now, with the war on terror and everything? That surprises me. Thanks for the feedback.
My argument stays the same though. Public welfare is not only made by higher tax, it can also be made by using tax money different.

Since I just got told that the average guy in the US pays around 44-50% in taxes total, it becomes interessting, since many west-european countries with far more public welfare systems also are around that number.

Actually war in Iraq is not included in the normal budget, so these numbers do not account for that.
