This would require people to have well paying jobs to pay income tax<br>- A gradual change may not be enough for the upcoming job automation</p><p>Thoughts?</p><p><a href="https://commonwealthbeacon.org/opinion/should-massachusetts-implement-a-program-providing-universal-basic-income/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">commonwealthbeacon.org/opinion</span><span class="invisible">/should-massachusetts-implement-a-program-providing-universal-basic-income/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/UBI4ME" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>UBI4ME</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/UniversalBasicIncome" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>UniversalBasicIncome</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/UniversalBasicInvestment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>UniversalBasicInvestment</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/EndPoverty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EndPoverty</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/CostOfLiving" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CostOfLiving</span></a></p>
