57 trond_solberg71 Hi Norwegian here. A hard thing to explain about social democracy is that we WANT our taxes to go to the "undeserving." Not because we're naive. Because it works. Healthy people cost less. Educated people contribute more. Housed people are more stable. The "undeserving" are actually pretty good investments. But the main point is that in a healthy society there are no "undeserving". There are just people. Follow for more from a social democracy, where dignity is not a privilege.
