There's been a lot of research in what makes people feel happy and prosperous. Basically, countries that enjoy peace, freedom, good healthcare, quality education, a functioning political system and plenty of opportunity are at the top of list every year.Where is the Christian compassion for US Taxpayers?
Oh there is plenty of that around, from the people who ignore the fact that Jesus said the desire for wealth was the fast track to hell and instead try to say that Jesus was for small government and low taxes, which he wasn't. .
Since I am an atheist your argument is irrelevant.
But creating a tyrannical welfare/warfare state will definitely make us feel like we are in hell.

This year, 8 of the 10 top countries had more extensive social welfare systems than the US. Again the US did not make the top 10.

Yeah...All of these places offer free shit to the masses. At the expense of others. it's why Greece, Spain, Portugal, Ireland are all in essence 'broke'. The weight of European Style socialism is crushing the economy of the Euro Zone nations. But for the existence of Germany's robust economy( because they MAKE STUFF) the EU would have collapsed years ago.
