What do you think about revoking the social benefits of drug users?

In addition, the situation and numbers of the poorest people in the UK is much better than the US. Your government still has millions dependent on food pantries as you say. We don't, except for small numbers of homeless. Since we have council houses and high, indefinite-duration benefits for the poor/have children/elderly, our social welfare is less about food-and-a-place-to-sleep (which charities are good at) and more about boosting standard of living by a few thousand per head. When I lived in your country for 3 years, the level of inequality was MUCH higher than I was used to.

The UK is #25 on this list, the US is #7. Most of these kinds of lists really are talking about the poor, or lower middle class, as if you have money just about anywhere is a great place to live.

So, I am not sure I would agree with the quoted statement.

 

Plus, who cares about the "inequality", if the lowest class lives much better then equal lifestyles in other countries?
