I'm not saying it's right, but in a smaller population that is that homogenous, you likely know more family members who have benefitted from those programs than you do folks who are ripping off the system, or you are at least willing to consider that you know some who benifit. Here I feel like I don't know anyone who benefits from gov't programs, but see lots of stories about grifters.

Presumably, you benefited from an LSU education, subsidized by the state of Louisiana. You benefit from the U.S. military, from your local police, from those who build and maintain your roads, and countless others. We all benefit, just like those citizens in those Scandinavian countries. If Trump's COVID checks kept the economy from cratering, you benefit from that.
