I haven’t read any comments yet but someone will say, “everybody will have skin in the game”
Pipe dream, it will never, ever happen. There will be some form of “E.I.T.C.” for the “poor”. Same with a V.A.T. The protected classes will always get back more than they pay in.
It would take an overwhelmingly conservative congress, president and Supreme Court to change those facts.
The only "protected classes" should be those who are incapable of caring for themselves through no fault of their own. None of this phony "disease" stuff for destructive behaviors (alcohol or drug abuse, gambling addiction, etc.) and workfare to replace welfare.
