Well, if the stream of incomes directed at rentiers were instead redirected towards welfare recipients, workers would have to do no more supporting than they do now.
This could be done by:
* Raising land taxes
* Taxing wealth
* Taxing yield bearing assets
* Remove carried interest rule.
And then paying for welfare with that.
Or we could keep pretending that billionaire moochers aren't more expensive for society than welfare recipients.
