I think can find you people from history who man disagree
I don't think your books will balance. There are not enough billionaires to find this. Also, they will all disappear, I bet they have good lawyers.
And I bet if implemented that threshold would come down and down and down. Let's talk to a prosperous Ukrainian farmer in the interwar period. Sent to a goo-lag for having a sewing machine perhaps?
Touche. Ok, middle of the driest part of the Sahara.
Hang on. Are you saying live government bureaucracies are inefficient and wasteful?
This whole poor people being humiliated by receiving aid discourse it's toxic as hell. Is a supermarket in the UK that recently started selling their cheapest stuff with a yellow brand, people said this about that if we're going to humiliate the poor people buying it. The only people who think that are people who are not themselves poor.
Especially when the answer is to just turn on the money gun fire it randomly around I find that offensive.
Also it's interesting how people can be too poor to have to apply for a benefit or to have that benefit means tested yet they can't be too poor to not be proud about receiving that benefit.
How about we dont take the money in the first place
Lots of things. Roads. Police, healthcare, army, find ten civil service required to make it all work.
And also a welfare state
The wives and children of those arrested and executed were dealt with by the NKVD Order No. 00486. The women were sentenced to forced labour for 5 or 10 years.[77] Their minor children were put in orphanages. All possessions were confiscated. Extended families were purposely left with nothing to live on, which usually sealed their fate as well, affecting up to 200,000–250,000 people of Polish background depending on the size of their families.[77] The NKVD national operations were conducted on a quota system using album procedure. The officials were mandated to arrest and execute a specific number of so-called "counter-revolutionaries", compiled by administration using various statistics but also telephone books with names sounding non-Russian.[78]
