Nothing needs modeled. That's the point. It's already been done and proven in almost every country above us in the HDI.

You're stuck in this belief that economic models in first world countries have to vary because of cultural differences? People in Denmark don't give a fuck about each other any more than you care about the bum on the corner of a New York City street. Are people going to game the system? Yes, they always fucking will, but I'd much rather individuals be able to game the system than major corporations.

So some black dude in Detroit gets an extra $200 bucks a month because he claims to have a gimp leg? Seriously, who fucking cares? Fuck lets say 10 million americans game the system of $200 bucks at some point? That's 2 billion dollars. Whoopdee fucking doo. At least he wasn't out selling subprime mortgages, went into default, then got handed billions of tax payer money in government bailouts and profited from both ends. You're sitting here trying to yell at minorities and "white trash" gaming the system out of a couple extra bucks yet you're ok with just letting companies steal billions in tax payer dollars, because it might "trickle down" eventually?
Here are the top 14 for 2015. Really worth the "revolution" to try to gain a few points? Sweden and Canada are below us. Why do we feel the need to constantly need to "transform" shit. Most people have it pretty good here compared to the rest of the world.
