And I'm thinking, and who's paying for this universal basic income?
Because in fact, when you look at our income tax system, right, 85% of the revenue
comes from individuals and labor and payroll taxes.
And so if we remove workers and we're going to have massive capital growth, we're going to have a lot fewer workers, we're going to really suffer in the amount of revenue that we're raising under our existing system.
So I think it's a serious problem.
So one thing is that we need to address is by making sure that we are in fact taxing capital because under our current system, we don't tax capital.
