Here's my idea: free education and free healthcare. Now, of course it's not free, you're paying for it with your tax dollar. But at least your tax money is being spent on your skills, health, and intelligence. Imagine it: a society of healthy people, fully skilled in whatever area they wish to work in. Less screw-ups, more efficient businesses, more money to play with in the future, more companies, more competition, more jobs.
