[quote=Anonymous]True. Creating and supporting a large social safety net (taxes) means getting everyone’s values to align. People are more likely to conform and share values if they have a shared history and heritage. Without some agreement in a society that conformity is beneficial and without a shared value structure, I don’t see how you get high taxes and a strong social safety net. The US is a country that was literally formed with states on very different pages economically (agriculture and slavery vs industrial) and has a relatively weak federal government as a result. See als, the civil war. We’ve never moved past that. It is much more each state does its own thing than most countries. A weak federal government and people who have fundamentally different world views is going to make socialist policies a heavy lift. [/quote]
