What an idiotic idea. Under Spartacus's plan, there'd be Social Security for both Seniors *AND* minors. What about Social Security for working adults too? Oh, yeah. Andrew Yang is proposing that.
Handouts are *NOT* the way to instill a work ethic into kids. Handouts are the way to get kids to want more handouts. Handouts lead to the creation of a welfare state - which is, of course, what Booker's followers want.

Cory Booker is pushing a 'birthright' bill that will give taxpayer money to every baby born in America.
2020 Democrat Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) is pushing a radical new "birthright" bill that aims to give thousands of dollars of taxpayer money to every baby born in America.The “baby bonds” bill wants to give up to $46,215 of taxpayer money to everyone born in the US as a “birthright.”The proposal is being pushed by Booker along with Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA) - the bottom rung on the ladder of AOC's so-called "Squad" of far-left Democrats. As wonderful as it all sounds, even in the liberal utopia that many Democrats seemingly live, money still doesn't grow on trees...So how does Booker plan to pay for his amazing plan?The cost of the proposal would be covered by massive tax hikes, of course.
Cory Booker admits that US taxpayers will have to cover the $60 billion needed for his plan through massive tax hikes
The bill, formally known as The American Opportunity Accounts Act, failed when introduced in Congress last year.Under the bill, the Treasury Department would fund and manage savings accounts for every child born.
Poorer families would qualify for more money than more prosperous ones, Yahoo! Finance reports:
As a “birthright,” the bill proposes, every child would be given a $1,000 savings account.Each year, the government would deposit as much as $2,000 into the account, depending upon the family’s income level.The poorer the family, the more money the child would get.Funds would be deposited into “low-risk” accounts managed by the Treasury, which the bill assumes would see roughly 3% returns a year. By age 18, America’s poorest children — those from families with incomes of less than $25,100 for a family of four, would receive $46,215 (in 2019 dollars).The richest — those in families with incomes over $125,751 — would only get $1,681 at time of maturity.
The bill is also being pushed by AOC Squad member Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA)
According to CNS News, the account would be inaccessible to the children until they reach the age of 18.After which they could spend it only on certain approved expenditures, like home purchases, tuition, and job-related education.The government would manage the funds in the accounts by making low-risk investments that would provide an expected annual average yield of approximately three percent.The proposal, which would cost taxpayers an estimated $60 billion annually, would be funded by tax increases, Sen. Booker admits.
