well like many other attempts to inject more government control into our lives; usually to "get back" at someone who is "unfairly benefiting/abusing/etc/etc"; those with the proposal wrap it up in a grand egalitarian wording and market only the promises that sound good but are too good to be true. to sell it they sneak in seemingly related facts that are not debatable.

it is easy to prey on the greed of anyone by simply remaking it into the person having their stuff taken as being the real greedy one.
