Switzerland’s government rejected a proposal to jack up inheritance taxes on the super rich, diminishing the chances of the plan passing in a national vote.
Because it made us wealthy? And because Switzerland has strong social security and failing in that free market is unpleasent but you will not go bankrupt or become homless.
That is ignoring the environmental destruction and what it does to other countries but for us the free market together with social policies worked wonders and people are keen to keep that alive.
Yes quite sure, if you are homeless you are so by choice. The government will provide for you, not unconditionally (you are required to look for a job or reeducate) but they will.
What if you can’t work? It was more of a rethorical question, as I know from personal experience, you can be very close to homelessness very quick. The different agencies will tell you that another is resposible and you get nothing for a very long time.
Yes it is a lot better rhan in the US and other places, but homeless people being homeless by choice is just not true and frankly a disgusting claim.
Can you prove this is a systematic issue? I know various people who lost their job or had to claim IV and not one of these was at risk of loosing the roof over their head.
No an individual case might be a mistake. You would have to proof a systematic behaviour of our government to prove that it does not usually work fine.

Are you sure about that?

I don’t have to prove anything, as an indovidual case invalidates your claim.

Of course it’s a mistake, but what difference does it make?
