You are proposing a huge, non-citizen working class, who's labor is taxed to support citizens? That is not what I was expecting. Yes, that may be good for citizens.
So a thought experiment for you. Can you find any historical precedence where these two-tier systems were implemented. And how did that work out?
- lazyasciiart 6y agoI would say it exists in America today. What's different about the current setup and what you are picturing?
- hnaccy 6y agoThe largest example would be undocumented immigrants and it seems fairly mediocre. A large portion of the country resents them, there's large demographic/cultural changes, another portion of country/political class wants to provide citizenship/welfare(voiding the GP's calculus), racial/cultural tensions are still issue. Well heeled thinktanks can continue to try and bamboozle people but after watching every contracting crew in my area become 99% low paid latino immigrant I have no reason to want the same thing to happen to software development when it's one of the few remaining paths to a nice middle class life. I guess I'm supposed to retrain as an attorney or something right?
