I can't see how this can work, for it seemingly takes no consideration of the fact that no people are financially equal. Therefore, surely, it can only serve to benefit those people who are not at the extremes of either poverty or wealth... the 'middling sorts'.

The whole point of a Welfare State is that it should seek to redistrubute wealth from the rich to the poor, not to all, since then the poor will get less than they would/should.

This is the sort of policy which would uttelry destroy The Conservative Party, in the UK. I can't imagine how it could be 'popular', anywhere. :scratch:
