I want ot be happy and comfortable. This means that I don't want to stress everytime I get ill, I want proper healthcare that will cover all my health needs (even dentist). I don't want to stress if i get sacked from my job, I want the state to supply me with pocket money while I'm looking for a new job. This way the state has true interest in fighting unemployment. I don't want to stress if I can't afford an appartment, I want the state to supply me with a temporary appartment for some months until i sort my shit out. And I don't want to stress when I have to go to work and I haven't got anyone to take care of my child, I want public kindergardens. Of course, I don't want to save or borrow money to educate myself, I want a full public education system. Given all these, I can plan my life better. Accidents and bad times cannot damage me much. I feel safe. This way I can have proper education, have children without worrying too much about feeding them and educating them. For a society with services like this I would be more than willing to pay high taxes. Because these taxes are practicaly a life insurance, a health insurance, education savings etc.
All of the above happen in the countries mentioned earlier in this thread. I see them as example societies. You may call this socialism but seriously, it's nothing more than proper management of the state.
