You sound like this is something one should be proud of. However, I see the source of a slipping economy and declining society. I honestly don't know what to call a society that encourages laziness. Where is the motivation for hardworking, innovation and risk-taking, the staples for the development of human civilization? I think this is actually worse than communism. At least, people have to work in a communistic society, albeit with little motivation. In a social welfare society like Australia and NZ and many parts in Europe, people actually are actually rewarded for not working and becoming a freeloader. And people are actually proud of it! :nono::nono:
My sister, who is an accountant, lives in Australia and she constantly complains about how little money is left after paying all the taxes and things. It would be better off if she simply quits and takes the welfare. I think the shear pressure of NOT becoming a freeloader (thanks to the constant brainwashing by our parents when we were little) is the only thing that is preventing her from quitting her job. And sometimes, she laughs at how hard we have to work in the States and actually mentioned the same things that you talk about. when i asked her if she wants to move to the States and make a little more money and pay a little less taxes, she thought about it and said "no, I still like it here since I don't have to work as hard". Whenever she says things about this, my parents always shake their heads and say "what happened to all the values we used to teach you?" You see, this social welfare thing is like brainwashing.
NO, I don't think anyone can. Nor should they!! A society that encourages people to not work and teaches people that they should be proud of not working and becoming a freeloader has no future.

Of course not I was being sarcastic, however I do believe in a well provisioned safety net for peoplw wh are down and out for no reason of their own. THats better than the people I saw in Beijing doing menial tasks like shoe mending for 20yuan +
As an accountant, surely there must be some way your sister can reduce her tax liability
Anyway theres three movies on China in the Local Film Festival this week. Im gonna take out my super annuiant discount card and go and see them, especially the one on Beijing
