If he really believes they will work, that's the best way to get national adoption. The thing with that is, to do UBI locally, the locality would have to pass stratospherically high state or local taxes to pay for it. And residents would get it back from the UBI but.....high earners would get back much less than they put in. So we would expect an exodus of high earners and an influx of low earners. Most likely, it would not work in a locality because that locality would not be competitive with the rest of the country in business. To make this work on a national level, you need to combine UBI with very strong protectionism. I'm talking massive tariffs on every other country. --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 Congratulations to DP Oblivion in the Guru Contest! ... Copied to Clipboard! |
