[PEN-L:33239] poor pay more

[Michael Perelman <michael@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Tonak and Shaikh's work on the social wage might offer some guidelines on
how one could theoretically go about evaluating who gets what from the
government, but a full accounting would be all but impossible.

We all believe that the military does more to protect the assets of the
rich, but quantification would be difficult.  Even so, I think that the
idea of trying to quantify the benefit side alongside the tax side might
be interesting.
