I'm still trying to come up with a system in which negative income tax would be able to exist with open borders without denying immigrants access to the system for x amount of years. Still no clue how they can coexist without odd restrictions but it like to think of a way.

I'm also trying to decide if we should just abolish tax deductions other than a few things like kids. Anything else seems to exploitable or regressive.

Thoughts on Merkel's 800,000 refugee plan? Where do you all see the Eurozone in 5 years? I'm betting eastern Europe and the UK will just ignore the quotas and the EU will lurch to its next crisis in 9 months or so.

The UK isn't involved in the quota plan. It's taking 20,000 over 5 years, but it's taking them from camps in Lebanon.

Why?

There's a test on how politically biased you are here (focused on the US). I'd expect people on here to get lower scores than most (as in the score for how biased you are, not the score for how many questions you get right). What do you get?

In total, you correctly answered 14/18 (77.78%) of the political knowledge questions. 80% of people correctly answer between 4 and 9 questions; 6 is the average. Your score is higher than 99% of test takers.
