It seems like think tanks and similar entities are quite effective in shaping the general mind's perspective on a social state. I hope that some of the people holding these beliefs of being robbed by their fellow citizens can readjust to reality by a comparison of the size of welfare budgets and cuts that are taken by hard working leeches along the way. I think one of the more prominent examples are the US healthcare system: it has the highest cost per person, yet is unable to deliver, with people having to pay for services out of their own pockets on top of this. I see this system to be ineffective and inefficient mostly because of people in the chain that grab whatever they can.
