I agree that a micro-tax on financial transactions is our best bet at taming the beast of rampaging capital. And a universal living wage is where we're headed, as automation makes the labour of fewer and fewer people necessary. I just think it will be done directly, skipping the business middle-man and wages altogether. And I don't think it will happen until the costs of not doing anything become impossible to ignore.
