I have advocated Tradable Citizenship for decades now and collecting dividends from the state would be a major financial incentive to enact the process. <at some juncture it may serve best to support universal basic income schemes such as that tee-ed up by finland bloomberg.com > Payments should be to citizens, not to any transients, tourists, interlopers or invaders, who contrive to be in the country when the cash is paid out. In NZ, we have that system but it's for anyone over age 65, with no means testing. But the income is assessed with other income for income tax. NZ has been increasing that age [from 60] as the payments were becoming untenable and too many people would stop working. A universal payment would be at fairly low levels but that's as it should be. Countries are not yet so automated that free-loaders can proliferate as much as they would do with a universal welfare payment with no means testing. The totalitarians of Beijing are not really communists as the definition of communism is the state owning the means of production. Your definition might vary. I don't mind Beijing communists agreeing with me. The more people who agree with good sense the better. I hope a billion Moslems see the light too. Mqurice
