Right. As in... no real difference. Or people can convert one to the other. Though I do think the framing and psychology of it must matter in that nudgey sort of way. Also one reason I like guaranteed income is that it may spur more entrepreneurship, so
@rushkoff take that? -
A tax regime that would make UBI viable might also make new wealth accumulation (modulo the occasional surprise unicorn) much more difficult
-
US gov't is quite competent at (progressively) taxing income, but has no such competence in wealth taxation. So I'd expect a gov't UBI regime to lean on taxation of income, not wealth A natural bias emerges towards endeavors that create wealth but not income (e.g. startups)
-
I'm personally ambivalent about this outcome. But I've found it funny for years that a certain 2012 presidential candidate never seemed to connect that increasing entrepreneurship would likely come from softening downside (rather than juicing upside) risks
