You are welcome to do what you want in America, but as far as my country (not Spain) goes, here is a list of things the general people believe in -
1. Strong government - Being a country of diverse cultural values, it is imperative that there is a strong national government who can take care of stuff if things go bad. If that means big government, so be it.
2. Free choice - While freedom of opinion is important and respected in a majority of cases, we don't believe in the US style First Amendment. Social harmony is more important than free speech. If that means less freedom, so be it.
3. Personal responsibility - There are millions born into poverty, and it is the responsibility of the government and the citizens of my country to lift them up. That will eventually imply that we get a better quality of life. If that means more taxes, so be it.
Given that we are a democracy, we have structured our government and civil systems depending on what the majority believe. And yes that means strong regulation which might imply in some cases that it is tougher to do business than it should be. Just because some American libertarian rascals tell us otherwise does not mean we are going to allow them to come and break our laws.
