False equivalence. People stop working during retirement because it is the very cultural expectation to not work.

There is no reason to believe this analogy you're attempting to make would transfer to something like a negative tax rate

Maybe they can stop working because of cultural allowance.

Who knows how many people should retire at 30 if the social norms allowed it.

Think about it this way. If a 60 year old says “I’m retiring” most responses will be “aw good for you, you earned it”. But if a 23 year old says “I am retiring” I guarantee there will be many more negative responses and questions.
