How would a system like this scale to different regions? I can see this working in a smaller country, not the US. I would need a much larger subsistence wage to survive in the SF bay area than I would in most other places in the country. And if certain (already overcrowded) regions are allowed larger wages, you'd probably see people flocking there for the increased wages. I can also see this placing strain on the system for the first few decades if people decide to have more children, since both parents don't need to work anymore.

- dllthomas 13y agoScaling it by region such that the increased benefits are greater than the increased expense is an obviously horrible idea. I think that scaling it by region at all is a bad idea, but am receptive to the notion that a slight increase might work out better if someone wants to present numbers.
