I was told in Singapore, there are no food stamps and there is no unemployment compensation. I guess they do not need that welfare because of their business friendly government. The unemployment is NEGATIVE 40% or so. Which simply means they have more jobs than citizens. Most menial jobs are done by imported workers on 2 year work visa’s.
United States on the other hand has a wealth re-distributionist president, hell bent on killing small businesses.
Some of my Singaporean friends told me that the government holds you responsible for the care of your elderly parents, too. They said you can be fined or jailed if they are found to be neglected.
