Fair point. It seems that in 2009, 13.2% of americans have been living under the poverty threshold. Lets say that they make 50% of the poverty threshold on average (don't know the number). That would be an increase of 3.3% of government revenue. Plus the savings on bureaucracy you point to. Does not sound like the most libertarian plan ever, but it's certainly not unrealistic.
