Every country needs to deal with issues of retirement, healthcare and whatnot....the question is who foots the bill?the rich the middle class or the poor?the government has to strike a reasonable balance.not push everything to the people and let them deal with it...sink or swim.
Learn from the Nordic countries lah ...they got it right. The government ensures that the people's major expenses in life are covered - daycare, education, healthcare, unemployment insurance and pension. In return, you pay high taxes. It is like your insurance premium. After that, you can live worry free. That's why the Danes are the happiest people in the world.
