The American taxpayer won’t pay for this. There is not enough tax revenue to pay for all this if the tax rate were 100%. The U.S. government will go bankrupt when it is no longer able to borrow. Then, as a society, we’ll have to reconsider what we can afford to do, and what we can’t. (That is, unless by that time we have a dictator who tells us what we’ll be doing, and is willing to reduce all of us to serfdom to accomplish it.)

Poverty in Mexico:
“Since the mid-1990s, poverty in Mexico has been defined under three categories.
Food poverty is the inability to afford a basic minimum diet. Thirty-seven percent of Mexicans were in this category in 1996, and 14 percent 10 years later.
Capacity poverty means that families or persons find it difficult to afford education and health expenses. Nearly 47 percent of the population was in this category in 1996, and around 21 percent in 2006.
Cash poverty includes those who have insufficient resources to pay for clothing, housing, energy and transportation, who made up 69 percent of the population in 1996 and 42 percent a decade later.
By the World Bank’s method of measurement, based on a daily income calculated in dollars, overall poverty in Mexico fell from 45 percent in 1994 to 41 percent in 2000, and to 32 percent in 2006.”
