OK, you got me on that one: I should not have said peoples but states
instead. It is wrong to generalize on peoples, and everywhere you find
lazy and you find hard working people.
As for states: for sure you can see differences here. I will just
mention one example now: Greece. Compare that to Spain (not that it is
ideal either). For 20 years, a lot of billions have been pumped in
both countries. In Spain it kind of paid off, whereas in Greece
somehow all got spoiled and not much improvement was reached.
Denying there are differences between how sensible different states
are, and how sensibly they spend the money they get is fooling
yourself. Continuing transfer of money for such cases is unfair, it is
theft.
