Cartoon: The welfare state cage


The welfare state cage

The welfare state promises citizens an array of services that seem appealing at first glance: free education! Affordable healthcare! An automatic pension system!

But citizens eventually realize that this welfare state looks a lot like a cage.

Free education... yet mediocre and rife with indoctrination.

Affordable healthcare... yet rationed. The bureaucracy dictates your health outcomes.

Pre-set pensions... yet poorly designed; they are bound to collapse one day and are ruining the country's finances.

Citizens wishing to opt out of the system face an impenetrable bureaucracy that ultimately prevents them from escaping their cage.
