Only those who positively cannot provide for themselves are eligible. Anything above that is Marxism to me.

Females are a burden in primitive economies rather than the advanced on like Israel's where they can take on most of men's jobs. To Zvi: The Indian situation doesn’t seem relevant to Israel.

In addition, voting of Arabs and them integrating won't be a problem because they should be driven out of Israel. Otherwise, great article. Libertarianism for after the state of Israel annexes Eretz Yisrael. I agree with bar that relying only on a nuclear deterrent is a bad idea.

"Social security should almost cease. Every person is responsible for saving for his own retirement. If he didn’t, the government can provide him with the minimum charity (food, campus shelter, basic medical aid). Israel can also enforce the biblical commandment that obligates children to provide for their parents. In such a scenario, Jews would love to bear more children, who will be their retirement security." . . Such a policy would bring about a problemed situation such as exists in India. There, the absence of old age social security from the government forces people to prefer male offspring rather than female. As the father of a few daughters, I cringe when I hear an Indian say, "Raising a daughter is like watering another man's garden." . As a result of India's policy of no social security there is infancide and the frequent use of Amniocentesis followed by abortion of female fetus. . One must be aware of unintended consequences to seemingly good changes. The essay states:
