Implications of Social Expenditure
That is the same old story so much told in the past: the fate of Mr. Muhammad Husni Mubarak and Mr. Muammar al-Gaddafi. No one would learn anything from their fate as much as from, say, the fate of Hitler in a sense.
Yet, there is one thing in common among those very talented guys, such as Mr. Mubarak, Mr. Gadaffi, and Hitler: they are smarter than democratic heroes, such as, say, Churchill.
However, it is the same old story that history always wishes democratic heroes to win, and they have defeated those very talented guys, such as Mubarak, Gadaffi, and Hitler.
To be such a democratic hero who can receive a favor from history and democratic citizens, he must be a man of commonsense even to be regarded as a bore.
A boring politician in a democratic country supported by democratic citizens can eventually defeat a very talented dictator leading his forcibly docile subjects, which is an old story.
Yet, in individual life even in a democratic country, many people want to be a Mubarak, a Gadaffi, or a XXXXXX. You cannot laugh at their fate so innocently.
CHAPTER I: Public and Private Social Expenditure
OECD's figure for comparison of countries in terms of social expenditure as a percentage of GDP, 2005 is as follows:

The order of rank is:
1. Sweden
2. France
3. Belgium
4. Germany
5. Denmark
6. Netherlands
7. Austria
8. Switzerland
9. UK
10. Finland
11. Italy
12. USA
13. Portugal
14. Luxembourg
15. Norway
-- OECD AVERAGE
16. Hungary
17. JAPAN
...
As the sole representative of non-European race dominating countries, Japan takes the 17th position in the ranking of institutional, financial, and material safety for people in a country.
It will be difficult for the U.S. to prove to the world that the everything in this world will be decided by G2, namely the U.S. and China.
No countries ranked higher than Japan, including the U.S., would lower their living standards to the averaged standards of the U.S. and China.
Yet, the 20-year long deflation in Japan, through 20-year heavy support for and tight business with China, suggests that Japan has guts more than the U.S. in dealing with China.
If Japan and China are combined together, their total power will soon overwhelm the U.S. or the E.U., though it might be the worst case scenario for American elites.
Anyway, remember that the U.S. is a country where elites shouted so passionately "G2, G2, America and China for big money" between the 9/11 Terror of 2001 and the Lehman Shock of 2008.
So, Muslims had better not go and learn in colleges in America, in this context.
CHAPTER II: What Offsets the Rule of Wealth
Wealth is for rich men. Social welfare is for poor men.
As long as a poor person can live based on social welfare, he or she will tolerate rich men living with so much wealth.
But, if social welfare is no longer enough or accessible, he or she will be forced to take by force any part of wealth rich men are enjoying.
So, the rule of wealth has two facets: more acquisition of wealth and control of poor people. Providing social welfare enough to calm down poor people is an essential part of the rule by wealth.
But, in the society where great social welfare is provided for every citizen, will any member try to get wealth by sacrificing other citizens? Of course, there would be some. But, a motivation to get determined to be rich, very rich, and super-rich by following the Devil would be significantly weaken.
Yet, great social welfare cannot be a final solution to eliminate the sin of pursuing wealth from mankind, since it would leave any few percentages of people determined to be rich, very rich, and super-rich even by following the Devil. If two men see such a greedy and smart guy, one of the two would surely follow the guy. In a very short period of time, half of a society will be filled with such followers of the rule of wealth due to one such greedy and smart guy.
So, we have to refer to any holy books to find a final solution. That is why I refer to some holy books.
Of course, the main point at issue is the rule of wealth is a means with which for the Devil to fight against the God.
In addition, the rule of wealth is called American Dream, since they are trying to avoid use of the term Christian Dream.
Finally, what I want to see is neither black Americans and white Americans nor just one-type of Americans but Christians (and Muslims), if European or African American Christians (Muslims).

When you see a stranger, you will try to judge how much rich, how much poor, how much honest, how much mean, how much socially high, how much socially low, how much good natured, how much wilily, how much safe, how much dangerous, and how much clever, and consistent he is or will turn to be.
The longer you live, the deeper your assessment of a stranger will be.
And, most people would finally conclude that there is no such a person in this world as deserves the title of true wonder, since everybody wants a place to rest as Jesus Christ lamented.
But most importantly, some people have ability to know a man they see is the Lord's Christ, since so described in the Bible.
If you think you have such ability, you might not need any other talent.
Yet, it must be more difficult to have ability to know a woman he or she sees is the Holy Mother, since it was an Angel that had such ability as so described in the Bible.

Luk 2:25 And, behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon; and the same man was just and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel: and the Holy Ghost was upon him.
Luk 2:26 And it was revealed unto him by the Holy Ghost, that he should not see death, before he had seen the Lord's Christ.
