Here's a way to pay down the debt.... - RAISE Act would save American taxpayers Posted: Oct 24th, 2017 - 3:56 am In Reply to: This is too complicated. All you have to do is compare it to - your household budget.
"According to research compiled by Robert Rector, The Heritage Foundation’s senior research fellow on domestic policy, the RAISE Act could save America trillions of dollars in welfare, healthcare, and other social services over the coming decades.
$1.9 trillion over the next decade.
The RAISE Act would manage this ending chain migration, which could reduce overall immigration levels by up to 50%, and by prioritizing immigrants who have economically valuable skills, which would be determined according to an objective points-based system."
In fact, it is estimated that low-skilled immigrants (those without a high school degree) receive $4 in government benefits for every $1 they pay in taxes.
This is because America’s tax system is progressive (redistributive), meaning that it taxes people with lower incomes less, and provides them with a host of benefits. Therefore, those with few skills (and meager earnings), end up consuming far more in government benefits than they pay in tax
