Free what? Last I checked, nothing I have received so far has been 'free.' Looking at the substantial tax deduction on my paycheck, I'm paying for all the government programs I use, and I pay for my health-life-car-property insurance, food, rent, electricity... pretty much everything else myself.

What the hell do you think would happen to those "northern european" countries with a sudden 20, 30, 40% increase in population? I can tell you, they'd become third world nations pretty damn quick.
