What you're describing is a communist welfare system. Little incentive for individuals to work hard, you'll just increase the number of people totally dependent upon the system. Not sustainable.

If your definition of “communist welfare system” is a handful of services being subsidized than I’m afraid you’re already living in a communist dystopia.
> handful of services

Seems like a sizeable portion of someone's personal responsibilities.

I'm not. That's socialism. Investing in public services that make life and society better. It's many key components short of communism.
