Looking at the stats the Netherlands had a small budget SURPLUS last year and national debt is only 60% of GDP.

There are economic advantages to a high tax welfare state as well.

Did you just cherry pick one country and make a claim that high tax welfare states have an economic advantage?

Statiticians the world over are rolling over in their graves.
