and, for those who prefer not to work, a government package of benefits that makes a toil-free life entirely feasible.

I wish Leon de Winter had been a bit more explicit and informative here, since money, like matter, cannot be simply created out of thin air.

Specifically, what prevents 100% of the dutch from adopting the "toil-free life"?

Inquiring minds would love to know!

Brings up another question. How much aid do they recieve from the US? I am sure there has to be some. Remember, our taxes don't just support liberalism and welfare in the US; no, we're thinking globally! :/
