or panhandlers on the streets anywhere. For a city as big as it is, it felt clean and safe everywhere we went. Why do liberals want to trash our cities with bums and filth?

Because they hate America and prosperity because they are underachieving POS.

Japan spends 21.5% of GDP on social welfare systems that include universal health-care, public assistance that covers living and housing costs, a national pension, and elderly care

I like how you equate government spending with culture. You’re a broken man.

A co-worker of mine just returned from Tokyo and Signapore after being there for just over 3 weeks.

They said they felt completely safe, could leave their personal items on a table, unwatched, for an extended period of time, just like many of the natives, and not have any concerns of theft.

Tokyo and Singapore, from my understanding, actually have consequences for their laws.

They also said both places were incredibly clean.

This requires a high-trust culture.

We already know that money from those programs here goes to fraudsters. We've brought in millions of low-trust dregs.

So spending over 20% of GDP on social safety nets has nothing to do with Japan's homelessness rates? It's all just culture?

Guess that explains why they spend over 20% of GDP on social programs.

This is true. They also have pride in their country and culture. They aren’t taught to hate themselves.

Correct. In this case they achieve this because they have a homogeneous culture, that they value and protect. They’re not interested in multiculturalism and because of that their society works.
