- s1artibartfast 2y agoseems remarkable given that visa doesnt send 150,000X children to send to school or collect 150,000X Medicare benefits. I guess this is a way of highlighting the idea that individuals should be fundamental unit of tax assessment, collection, and evaluation. It is humans that receive government benefits, and it is humans that should pay for it. Other methods of analysis run the risk of double counting benefits or payments.
