Well, what you heard is utter crap!
I think that there can in some circumstances be important problems with welfare, whereby it will counter-intuitively keep people unemployed by discouraging them from job-seeking. This tends to happen when welfare check values are right below the maximum amount such people could expect to earn on the market. But that doesn't seem to be the case here, unless anyone can find evidence to the contrary. So, yeah, long story short... utter crap.
And btw, it isn't that long ago The British burnt the White House in Washington.
Most Americans already forgot about that, or don't even know!
Yeah, during the War of 1812... what does that have to do with anything, though? Are we supposed to still be sore?
Another point is..
The right wing extravaganza in Europe is a post-colonial problem.
In France the FN.. Colonials
In The Netherlands the PVV.. Wilders originates from a colonial family. (Indonesia)
In England.. Guess what?
Finland though? Switzerland? These countries have such parties too, but they aren't historically colonial.
