> Sweeping away all of this and replacing it with a relatively simple "Does this person exist? Are the eligible for the universal income?" would save so much money, and time, and stress. It would free people to do voluntary work, or small informal projects.
Exactly. Some people just can't wrap their heads around what people want. Decent wages and free time.
To give people a certain minimum amount of wealth, we can just acknowledge that the best way to do social welfare is by utilizing efficient taxes and spreading that wealth equally amongst all, not because everybody needs it, but because it's ethical.
I'm in favour of the idea that it would still factor into your tax bracket. So making a UMI of $15,000 itself is meaningless at tax time, but working a part-time job and escalating that into the $40,000's should place you in that income.
This could mean that it ignores the wealthiest of us on a per year basis if we make more than $100,000 of so.
With the savings from those individuals and the elimination of our bureaucratic social system now, I truly think it should be attempted.
The real problem is the government firing those workers and saving that money. They would not like that.
