Other countries provide housing, clothing, food and water for free?

    In Germany, those are viewed as basic human rights. So, yes. Ask yourself how humane the American system is if it doesn't.

    Show me where Germany gives you water for free, or food?

    On welfare they pay your rent. Tap water in Germany is perfectly drinkable, so - free water. Food? Bahnhofsmission. Also, the free money you get on welfare allows you to get food.

    In Denmark we quite happily pay a fuck tonne of tax but you get a lot of bang for your buck:

    you get money whether you're a student, unemployed, to old or mentally/physically unwell to work, or one year after you've given birth. If you're homeless you can get accommodation (not sure how this works though). Parents get some money for clothing and food for their kids until they turn 18. No free water though, but like clean tap water for 2 USD/ cubic metre so pretty affordable
