Believe me, I know what the answer is as it is being utilized in several European economies successfully. However, it will never work in America unless, as you say, we get rid of the Libertarians as it is tied very closely to what they call patriotism. But how are you going to do that? You going disappear them like Tony Soprano or start building guillotines at shopping malls? How are you going to do it with almost half the country goose-stepping its way toward a Trump version of capitalist fascism? America is ripe for revolution but who comes out in power would determine the next system and I doubt very seriously it would be those supporting social democracy.
