    Honestly I think a large majority of people would be on board with this system, the thing is how do you describe this to a disengaged voting population in a way that is understandable but brief ? And at the same time, how do you quickly counter the ‘communist’ argument that would come from the ultra-capitalist right?

      Unless you have actually lived in a society like this as a normal person, not as Richguy McSpoiled, it probably sounds like a fantasy or like you are letting others freeload on your work.

      Plenty of people will only look at the payceck and see a much lower number without also comparing the public services you recieve.
