There is - and it's been in use in many countries for a long, long time.

If that question is to me then the answer is probably YES.

The thing is that the U.S. sees tax money as the government's property and so it’s hoarded for "their own” benefit such as politicians and big business scratching one another's back and getting fat on the profits while the underprivileged suck on moss-covered rocks for their sustenance.

We, on the other hand, see tax money as insurance for the whole population i.e. the individual citizen. The funds are there for us when we need it. Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t that the whole idea with democratic, political policies?

You're so deluded about life in America that it is mystifying. Moss-covered rocks are for the middle class. Nothing so fancy for those poor bastards who pull the weeds from my yard.

But wouldn't the weeds be more nourishing than moss? Jesus! Ain't your weed-pullers priviledged bastards!
