rather than making them pay income tax why don't we make it so nobody pays income tax?

  :thinking_face: Very controversial libertarian thought, but not necessarily a dystopian one. Are you talking about income tax in general or just federal one? (Not sure we can do much with federal one) But we def can do something with local taxes. Shifting some of the "governmental" responsibilities and distributions (police, fire dept, DMV offices, schools, etc etc) to a more efficient private entities (entities that can be laid off when not performing) might give local communities a huge boost. This might trigger a great backlash from UBI proponents though, since most of the government jobs are basically some versions if the UBI (you get you paycheck only for showing up kind of thing).
