Particularly the poor, the bottom 20% poorest of the American population are an active detriment to society in every way imaginable. They contribute nothing to taxes, actively increase overall debt, and make up less than 2% of the entire workforce.
97% of income tax (income tax makes up roughly half of the government budget) is paid by the top half of the country
70% is paid by the top 10% of the country
20% of the federal budget is spent on Medicaid and Social welfare programs for the poor on roughly the same amount of the population, 20% If we removed the bottom 1/5 poorest of people, we would be losing practically nothing in terms of labor, be saving far over a trillion dollars annually (even if small amounts of menial labor was lost with the poorest people [which can be rectified with automation in the coming years] the savings far outweigh the loss), and only be losing 60,000,000 people. Losing 60,000,000 is a smaller amount than is needed to make resource consumption neutral, but is a reasonable amount while still keeping the economy intact. With the decreased population would come the aforementioned increases in our long term survivability as a country, not only surviving but thriving and improving life for everyone in the United States.
