I'm all for helping people but for fucks sake, the people who declare this kind of thing do not live in the real world, they've just listed goals they haven't listed a plan, how are they going to pay for all of this? Oh wait, they don't know anything about economics, they might as well have wished for a pony.
Getting rather fucking tired of people making these suggestions as if they're geniuses who just thought of it without even bothering to consider the consequences to the rest of the economy. By the way, if you ever want to beat people like this in a debate, all you have to ask is "How are you going to pay for it?" because they seem to think that government is some magical entity that can pay for anything that they want.
Oh, by the way if taxation wasn't so complicated a flat tax rate would easily solve the problem of tax dodging but that would require intelligence to implement.
