Okay, I see your point, but as it stands, the ones who use the social benefits currently pay NOTHING, or they actually make money with the Earned Income Credit. How is your scenario different? (Except the border thing)
I am not shooting it down, I am 100% in favor of such a system and scrapping the current system. Was just pointing out something I saw as a potential problem. I would love it except if the next democrat elected to office then uses it as carte blanche to turn us into a wholesale socialist entity. I might then have problems with the repercussions, but I'll gladly deal with that fire when we come to it.
