I understand the difficulty already. This is tricky, will involve caveats, and unless well-thought though, it would have easy means for people to evade. This certainly isn't something that I could frame by myself. :-)
However, I feel that this is often rejected too soon. :-)
Help devise what could be a better policy that tries to equalizes the opportunity to all newborns. I think such a policy could have exponential impacts on the society.
- ttt0 5y agoIt's rejected, partly because it's frankly offensive for a lot of people. You have no idea how much work, sweat and blood it took and how many sacrifices were made by my ancestors, a poor farmer family, so we can have this so-called privilege of being in the middle class. Taking it away and keeping everyone down is like a spit in their face. I guess it's not so bad if it's a progressive tax, but still.
- alok-g 5y agoI understand that. Such a proposal cannot be introduced on a given day and applied to all. It can only be a slow implementation done over say two generations. People would need to see it coming, take that into their understanding and calculations as they move towards it. In other words, grandfather clause would need to be there. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grandfather_clause https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grandfather_clause
