Basic income creates a more robust consumer base with fewer workers, allowing you to get better jobs from your willingness to work. You won&#x27;t have to work harder, your wages will go up because you are willing to work at all.<p>Also you would likely pay the same taxes. Remember the system gives you (and bill gates) money too. But still taxes on income. If you&#x27;re making over 150k, then yea maybe you might pay more for this system. On the other hand you already control more resources than 99% of the people in the world.
