Jim and Kandrathe,
I think you didn't understand my point. And the point of the article in the first place.
Let's all pretend this is some evil socialist scheme to take tax payers money and give it to lazy scum that doesn't want to work.
Funny that this is suggested by a guy appointed by Berlusconi (not the most socialist of leaders).
So please just look a little bit farther and see what this is really about. A shameless attempt to get more tourism income for Italy, paid by northern European countries.
(plans like this that honestly want to do something for poor people are usually not made by the southern European countries, but by socialist politicians from the north)
Jim, yes I am dutch, not american. The reason why I said that 'in principle' giving poor people a chance of going on holiday is that I for example have no problems to pay for kids that have poor parents (not the kids fault) to also see something of the world (probably making them better citizens as well). I however don't find this one of the most important things we need to fix right now.
