I live in one of countries with the highest taxing (The Netherlands). And we are doing fine, really. I know of no one who lost their jobs. Yes, unemployment rate went up a bit, but not that much compared to other countries. In daily live, crisis was barely noticeable. We had a welfare system since the second world war, and it works well for us. I went to the USA many times, the first I was really surprised to see a lot of poor people. Then I realized how good it is to be a Western-European citizen.
