I'm from Hong Kong, and we all know it is a commonly agreed fact. The court may charge like ten thousands per life, but medical is really much higher, making their society kind of twisted.
When I was in china, there was a warning not to help out people who were injured on the streets. If u took them to hospital, they would place the blame on you for hurting them and since some of the older generation of chinese can't speak English, a foreigners side of the story can't be heard and thus the injured civilians story would be more "valid"
Well, all liberal views of government (that MORE government is always needed to solve problems) are well intentioned, but stupid. Take this for example. The government steps in to TRY to help, and by doing so creates a system in which it is more financially prudent to murder someone than hurt them. Welfare is a system to help the poor that creates a mentality of entitlement and acts as a means to KEEP people poor. Try to get a job? Benefits dissappear immediately, disincentivizing people from getting jobs. We need to fund welfare? Tax wealthy corporations more, resulting in those companies going overseas.
More government is rarely the solution and is usually the problem.
