John,

Listen Jozef, your rallying cry of Tax The Poor!!!! just doesn't have a lot of resonance.

As I said, this is would be just a symbolic thing. It's not that the amount raised will make much of a dent. But their inclusion in the system would make them "owners" of the country, and responsible for its well being.

So then, when a new goodie is dangled in front of them with a question:

"Do you want this goodie and do you want to pay for it?"

Their answer to the question may be different that the current question:

"Do you want this goodie and do you want someone else to pay for ig?

It is largely psychological and symbolic. Not tax the poor.

Joe
