- creshal 11y agoWhy is it superior? That looks a lot like making the government subsidize worker exploitation.
- vezzy-fnord 11y agoHow does a negative income tax subsidize any of that? If anything, it's much more neutral regarding wage labor (since it's based on the broader definition of income in tax codes) than, obviously, minimum wage mandates.
