(I thought you were talking about Citizen's Income, not Tax Reform...) Okay, let's assume that Canada introduces your system. Then the wealthy individuals and the corporations will simply move out of Canada. Then there won't be much left to redistribute... just millions of net recipients of CI... funded from which source? And how will you prevent the moved-out rich and corporations from sucking Canada dry from abroad? Total protectionism? Your spaceship engine is a perpetuum mobile that is losing energy. > As for explaining how our system will work in the long run, first > explain how you think the present system is going to work in the long > run. It won't. But it should be replaced by one that will.
