I agree. We should offer a deal: the state ought to spend more, but should stop monopolizing the people ànd stop taxing us. Everybody wins.

I invite Mr. Lamont to put his experiment to test on a mini-scale, go to Louisiana, and build his system of allocating house, food, and welfare to people, starting with whatever money and resources he has available from his university or elsewhere.

Afterwards, if he shows results, I might even join him, and work on his experiment alongside.

At the end of the practice, perhaps in two years, both of us might together sit in front of a government committee and propose our idea to them. I have good presentation skills and have helped entrepreneurs write their financial plan as an intern, so I have experience with convincing people with promising cost-benefit analysis.

It will be an interesting venture, but it will require Mr. Lamont to quit his job, leave his town, and work full time on implementing his grand idea rather than talking about it. It may also require a bank loan with a collateral on some of his property, and he has to know he has to be prepared to stake something if he can't sell his idea.

State should take care of us!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
