In my rural/small-town area, the only heavy equipment business,
selling and maintaining dozers, cranes, backhoes, timberjacks and the
like for over two generations, went out of business a couple of years
ago. Their premises were quickly taken over by a business selling
Winnebagos and other $100,000-plus "RVs" which used the move to expand
their front line.  Say what?  Hmmmm??

As to where the money would come from for a guaranteed minimum income
or similar program, this recent article might be of interest (although
I can't personally verify the author's lead-off assertion that when
taxes go up on the working class, their incomes soon go up to
compensate.)
