One thing twinged, though: The idea of the few having all the capital, and the rest living off them being taxed is not as unlikely as you make it sound. 80%+ of the world’s wealth is already in the hands of 1% of the population, and that gap keeps growing. Couple that with the rate of growth of automation, and that scenario becomes the most likely, not the least. If we can have a Basic Income in place and already functioning by the time that likely future comes to pass, we will be ahead of the curve instead of trying to play catch up on what will be a necessity then, as it is now.
