    I would also propose that any company where someone is making more than the cost of living is automatically garnished to the amount extraneous, again to contribute to UBI. Under this system republicans can’t exist because there is no corporations with enough money to bribe politicians.

      So you’re saying no matter what anyone does for work they only make as much as it costs to survive? That is how I interpret “any company where someone is making more than the cost of living is automatically garnished to the amount extraneous”

      So basically everyone gets paid the same no matter if they work or not. There’s no incentive?

      Just trying to understand the logic.

        I include regular luxuries as part of the cost of living as they often factor into a well balanced life, e.g.: vacations, etc. But yeah. The incentive is being part of a system where everyone lives comfortably and can achieve the basic goals of modern life.
