Britain is a prime example. After it became a welfare state in 1945, the government took on the responsibility of caring for the poor, the handicapped, the sick, and the unemployed from cradle to grave, but a deepening fiscal crisis forced the government to raise taxes during the 1960's.
例如英國一九四五年成為福利國家後，政府擔負起照顧貧、愚、懶、髒、病從搖籃到墳墓的所有責任；到一九六○年代，財政危機愈來愈嚴重，於是只好增稅。
