EU Poverty and Joblessness

This is disturbing. Obviously, the European socialists have much work ahead in their march to utopia.

From Breitbart.com:

One in six Europeans is living below national poverty thresholds, with children particularly vulnerable, according to the results of an official study.

The European Commission's annual report on "social protection and social inclusion" also found 10 percent of people living in households without anybody working as well as wide discrepancies between life expectancies between EU member states.

Now, it seems reasonably achievable to reduce the poverty level if more is taken from those who have. A draconian combination of taxes, fees and tariffs, once collected and properly targeted, could reduce the poverty level to the minimum.

On the other hand, increasing the number of jobless households to a utopian level will not occur. The Europeans may be able to increase the number to 20 percent but they will never realize the goal of everybody jobless, living in trees, eating grasses and riding bicycles. After all, somebody has to make the bicycles.
