re: Replacing Social Welfare Programs with a Min Income Payment

I this is the way society is progressing. The idea of a negative income tax is very appealing to me, as ideally you would cut out lots of government bureaucracy.

I do worry about the price of goods in this situation, as government subsidies seem to inflate prices.

There are pilot programs for basic income in India, Brazil, and Nambia. I don't know yet if the Swiss have voted on it. But as technology and innovation increases, we will need less and less workers.
