Charles Murray has a new book out in which he suggests scrapping the welfare system we have and paying $10,000 a year to everyone age 21 or older. At the Emerging Issues Forum,
former Treasury Secretary Paul H. O’Neill suggested paying $83,000 to
each newborn so they could have a million dollars at retirement age. Americans for Fair Taxation wants to give everyone a prebate in exchange for a 30% sales tax.

we just cut government spending and taxes so we each have enough money
to save and invest for our own families’ needs?
