> So yes, it would discourage people from going to a new country for fun and lounging around there and not working. People who want to move to a new country should do it because there's a job for them in that new country, and if it doesn't pay above the GBI threshold, then yes, they should probably stay home.
Absolutely not. I've been traveling through many countries over the past >year working remotely on my personal business based at home in the US. Who are you to say I should be tied down in my home country to receive the same benefits everyone else does, especially since I pay taxes like everyone else?
