One of the models we don't want to follow is that of the United
States. The US has a relatively ungenerous welfare state, by our
standards anyway. That is partly because of a historic anti-state
sentiment but it is also because of racial segregation. Too many
people on benefits are African Americans or Hispanic. That's why a lot
of the US social security budget has been very unpopular. It is seen
as funding minorities.
