Description
Vi sejler op ad åen og sikke'n fest. Vi danskere er alle i samme båd; få har for meget og færre for lidt, og alle har ret til en fed velfærd. Det er næsten for godt til at være sandt, og det er det også. For glansbilledet af den danske velfærdsstat krakelerer, når Carsten Jensen, skattebetalt velfærdsekspert ved Aarhus Universitet, sætter den under lup: Vi elsker godt nok velfærd og åbner gerne pengepungen for at få endnu mere. Men netop kun af den velfærd, vi selv bruger. Alle dem, der ikke abonnerer på villa, Volvo og vovhund, kan sejle deres egen sø.
