John Robb Basic Innovation Income in a Nation of StartUps: http://www.homefreeamerica.us/basic-income-or-incubate-everybody/
So, what does this suggest for the rest of society?
A basic “innovation” income for everyone. Self-funded innovation everywhere.
No taxation on income. Waste of time and drag/friction on economic activity. Fast wealth accumulation possible. Fast recovery from failures.
Heavy taxation on extreme wealth (wealth over a couple of million $, using today’s metric). More innovation = more lightning strikes = more extreme wealth to tax.
