So what's your take on universal healthcare? Do you resent having to pay for the treatment of others?
I get that increased taxes are offputting, but what's your alternative to making sure people aren't forced to live on the street, taking into account future loss of work due to automation? And what makes you believe that mincome would deter people from innovation?

Its not about an increased tax ration, its about entitlement and motivation. Would you feel better giving $1000 to charity, or having $500 stolen from you?
