As an engineer that moved to Europe - everyone benefits from the social welfare system.
I benefit by not having to worry about the homeless druggie assaulting me and on a more values-based level, by not feeling like shit for living like a king while the druggie has to be homeless.
The taxes are a membership fee for living in a society that isn't permeated with cruelty and violence.
Plus, they pay for stuff like working public transport etc as well.
