I'd say the problem IS the welfare state...it's the old thing of 'easy come, easy go'. If someone walks up to you and hands you 100k, you'll blow through it like it wasn't even there. If you had to WORK and FIGHT to get every penny, you'll watch your wallet like you had eyes in the back of your head, and be very economical. To my mind, that is the immigrants' edge. They've seen the other side of true poverty, we saw the glossy magazine cover, as it were. Not true 100% of the time, but as a general rule...if you have to pay your dentist bill CASH, you're much more likely to take good care of your teeth etc.
