I think that will drive down labor costs and make millions of people unemployed.

Anything that requires you to think in constraints, orchestration and optimization should survive in one form or another. It always does.

This so much.

In Italy I pay:

- 12.5 % of interest on government bonds

- 26 % of interest on stocks capital gains

- 21 % of taxes on the income I get by renting my real estate

- 37 %+ of taxes on my labor

- up to 57 % of taxes as a self-employed business

If this isn't rigged against productive working and beneficial for passive owning I don't know what is.

Of course numbers change across the world, but I have yet to see that many countries were this is inverted.

I'm well off financially and eventually, I'm less and less dependent on my work to live, but if this isn't a scam towards the general working population, then I don't know what is.
