Not sure if it should come in the form of a Universal Basic income or a Negative income tax. I'm planning on doing a thread about it soon. Figured I would do a thread about living wage first to see if there is something about it I am missing.

Yes, what you are missing is the social responsibility of business owners and the immorality of our taxes going into their pockets.

The most efficient means of the wealth redistribution is the direct one - require businesses to pay a living wage. Cut out the middleman.
Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.
Science is not a subject, but a method.
