Where am I apologising? I agree there are many disincentives, I’m asking about ones that would actually come to fruition in todays political atmosphere?
None that I can see any politician actually backing. Do you think Mitt would suggest these actions, or Newt, or Sarah, or any candidate?
Your main contribution to this thread has been to constanly ask others: What would you do? As if nothing can be done. That is little better than being a far left advocate and defender of all welfare programs.
A person has to be at the point of supporting some disincentives rather than constantly throwing up their hands, or they are just helping perpetuate the current situation.
That old wisdom: you get more of what you subsidize. You have to get to the point of lessening the subsidies, or the incentives, or all you will ever be is just one more enabler.
