Lol at the brush off from @Jack V Savage, he sold me on the idea and is a big proponent of some form of it.
I'm not trying to blow it off (@HomerThompson and @Limbo Pete). I read the whole paper (previously), and I agree with the gist of it and don't have any major criticisms or anything to add, really. Let's do it.
I am also of the opinion that it should be funded by monetary policy or land taxes, (again credit jvs) something with minimal economic drag/distortion. Video fails to address that, which is why so many are poo pooing it based on oil.
Yeah, in the paper, he mentions a bunch of potential taxes, but I don't recall land-value being specifically mentioned. That would be a good one. I also think we should provide some low-interest start-up loans with equity as a condition.
