seven england has the most single parents of any major western european country with the exception of estonia and this is entirely or largely due to tax policies you get heavily taxed if you live together and you get about one hundred pounds a week bonus if you live apart so there's been a huge undermining our british family and this is left a lot of youths without the social and economic skills to succeed in a time of declining employment so i think we've seen so a fall out of long term social engineering policies in the u.k. so those underlying dynamics it really is creating an underclass and it seems that there are unlike in the united states or in canada that underclass is more distinct from the middle class and so you see so many people who are willing to come out and commit acts of violence and thievery in the streets but in the united states it seems like they they they're able to somehow least convince us that we're all lumped together in that middle class is that separation happening here is that separation happened in canada or other industrialized countries where we're seeing a lot
