Being from a country where we have suffered populist governments who "defend the poor" by increasing their numbers, I am convinced that this is very true. Instead of creating jobs and improving education, they give handouts to the poor, and their number has dramatically increased. These jobless people depend on the handouts, so their vote is guaranteed to go to the populist party. In my country, this technique has been used effectively since 1946.
- Omniusaspirer 11y agoThis appears to be the trend in most countries, as enabling a population to vote themselves money puts incentives in all the wrong places.

- sickbeard 11y agoPersonal income tax isn't based on how wealthy you are. It's based on how much income you earned during the year.
