There will never be enough
The more advanced the technology and the higher the average income, the bloated budgets of the "welfare state". This may seem paradoxical at first glance, it is not.
The modern Western state redistribution is not as much money as is necessary, but as much as he can prevail politically. And in a country with higher average incomes it takes longer for the citizens revolted against high taxes, thus leaving more room for the corrupt politicians on the expenditure side.
The permanent crisis created by high taxes, massive regulation of all economic activity and demotivation of productive activity, is a means of control. The constant fear of social decline, long-term unemployment, etc. leading to a general agreement on precisely and loyalty to the institutions of the socialist state system, the only cause of this crisis. Furthermore, it creates a social layer of the continuing dependency, select a leftist political spectrum. Not because this is in the rational interest of the nation as whole or would improve the situation of that layer would, but because of the state-assigned class membership.
This is also the reason why the socialists all parties can ever driven before and grew toward the abyss of social demokratischn identitylessness. No one will attack the foundations of the redistributive state, if the sheer number of net receivers is just so enormous that they easily can decide elections, while the self-consciousness of this electorate so obvious even to a threat can be.
Individual responsibility, dignity and humanity are replaced by cold mechanisms of the bureaucracy. Have to thank the Office does not care if you get help. The Office sued, if one's legal "rights" does not look satisfied.
is often the "globalized world" cited as an additional factor for the failure of the redistributive state. I think this is nonsense. If it still parliaments, judges and bureaucratic institutions that determine whether benefit people who are not part of the nation, from the redistribution. It is obvious that any state would break no matter how rich and powerful, the burden of poverty on the globe. The generosity displayed by these institutions so that they will exacerbate the problem instead of permanent crisis to solve. Raises the redistributive state does not have the internal problems, he may not be a solution to the consequences of the mistakes of other nations.
This is not a problem of a closely networked world, but a stupid policy.
