RE: Doug Casey and I Destroying Commies On Universal Income
Companies have no will, except the will the humans give them. Going by the book for tax and regulatory reasons seems pretty uh, un-anarchy. When the companies in question use such practices as de-regulation, and terms such as development to expand their empire. Many poor countries have little to no regulations and these corps and govt's stomp all over them, pay them little and pollute their land. If people had UBI they would have much greater agency and not have to be forced to work for slave wages while the big companies ruin the land with mining, oil extraction, mono culture farming etc. I say don't let the government own your flesh and tax your body. Undue the birth certificate, who would want to be part of a country - corporation that oppresses their own people. "Take a step outside the planet, and take a good look at who you are."
If you don't think the government should be able to tax, how will your UBI be funded?
It should still tax, just not from physical labour. So the current jailing system in the U.S. would have to go. No more free labour. Sorry.
So who do you plan to tax, that doesn't labor and still have income for you to grab? Still haven't heard.
Oh, uh, goods and services!
Goods and services, produced by labor....
Yes, only the 'service' and goods are taxed, not the worker. A real life circuits and metal robot will be taxed for the services it provides, the human work done to produce products won't be taxed, instead only the products themselves will.
So the workers will be taxed when they buy the products? And the producer of the robot will taxed? Let's be honest a robot cannot pay taxes, it has no property or money to be taken. So....
