Governments in Europe are especially renowned for the any work is better than none approach Are they now? It used to be true in the east bloc countries when they were all communist, but it's not remotely true in today's Germany where OP lives. Having experienced living in numerous countries i can safely say that taxes are often (not always) poorly spent in Europe People say that, and I hear: Taxes are not spent the way I would spend them, if I were in power. when i see public sector inefficiencies on the scale that they exist in Europe Please be specific about which inefficiencies your are referring to. European countries are doing very well on the list of riches countries in the world as measured in GDP per capita. That would be quite surprising if their large public sector really were so horribly inefficient.
