The mechanism is democratic and will only lead to more entitlements, class war, bread, circuses, guns, butter, and free drugs for granny.
Just as a curiosity what would be your solution to our present dilemma?
A government limited to solely the defense of life, liberty and property.

Naturally these sort of fixes are not viable in a mobocracy.
