The one that really outshines everybody is France's universal healthcare. If you need treatment, but not enough to warrent a hospital visit, they have, 24 hours a day, a number you call and a doctor comes to *you*! They drive around in mini-emergency vehicles.
Meds, treatments, cost the person *zilch*. The also have free college and university education. People are granted 4 weeks paid vacation every year, no matter if you are a maid or an accountant, right as soon as they start their job. Paternity, maternity leave all paid for. They will also send out, free of charge, a person to help with house chores, like laundry and stuff. All drugs paid for.
They may pay a little more tax wise, but I certainly wouldn't mind.Jay
