Green cards already come with a lot of restrictions on availability of welfare.

Even with no welfare programmes accessible at all, the green cards would still be a good deal.

Btw, I think Mitt Romney was talking about income taxes only? To pay no taxes at all, you'd have to somehow not buy anything that has a sales tax on it.

Before income taxes were introduced, 100% of your country paid no income taxes at all. But I'm not sure that says a lot.

Btw, taxing-and-spending are pretty inefficient, so don't expect all of taxation to add up to all benefits received. (Budget deficits and surpluses complicate the discussion further.)
