Interesting project, but personally I would be more interested to see the funding of a study on "basic financial freedom".
The test is quite similar, but instead of giving them a basic income participants are still required create their own income - however, they no longer have to pay taxes on their income. They are encouraged to create businesses and those businesses are also free from tax, and those employed by said businesses are also free from tax.
50 years from now, I think it will seem ridiculous that we used to allow government to take our money ;)
- lordCarbonFiber 11y agoSo are they no longer allowed to use public roads? How about public utilities? Does the fire department show up at their "un taxed" businesses, how about the police? Can they hire students that received their education from public schools? The fact that there existed a group of people that posted that modern society would be even remotely possible without government is far more likely to be seen as ridiculous in 50 years.
- mrschwabe 11y agoYes they would have access to all that stuff because their taxes would be paid for by YC as part of the program.
