I dont' want to pay as little as possible and get as much as possible. I may be a socialist but I'm not a hippie.
I just want to get as much as I paid for.

I'd guess that there is most of your problem, much like Greece, you (as a society) chose free stuff and not to pay much tax to get it.
Unfortunately the money runs out and the societal Ponzi scheme of letting the next generation pay for it has gone off the rails, because in Europe, you haven't had a next generation (read up on the demographics, Mark Steyn has a number of entertaining books on the looming societal collapse in Europe). Advice, get out if you have a marketable skill, if you haven't, get a marketable skill and get out.
