This is a terrible fucking idea that will completely fail for reasons others have already noted. It will actually create more unemployment among low skilled and low wage workers. It will hurt the lower classes.
The American public is too stupid to know that since we went off the gold standard, real wages have steadily declined, thus eroding the middle class. The credit and spending orgy that has ensued has not gone into productive capital investments but instead things like consumption and overbuilding. The result of the debt and deficits is extreme asset inflation (benefits the super rich, the owners of stocks, bonds and property), extreme wealth disparity, a hallowed out middle class and growing poverty.
Who you are born to and where now has a strong influence on where you end up. If you are born poor, there is less opportunity and more roadblocks then decades go. It is what it is. Deal with it. Its still probably the best country in the world to be born in. The opportunities in this country are still 20x more than 95% of the rest of the world. -

Take a look at the US demographics compared to those much smaller (and in some cases much more homogeneous) countries.Fire_Marshall_Bill said:
