Welcome To The New Billionaire Anarchy

Universal Basic Income
will never be long term policy
in any country in the world
for as long as the wealthy
find tax avoidance lucrative,
cheap enough, and easy to do,
because government tax law
is complex enough to make it so.

The legal language of modern tax codes
can never be made to make the accountants
of the wealthy arrange to pay the taxes
that the wealthy know they should pay.

Because the ultra-wealthy
and the new multi-national companies
rarely have to comply with government policy,
and can withhold their taxes
governments will never have the money 
to re-distribute towards those
who work finds unworthy,
who will never be offered a job
in a shrinking market for work
due to creeping automation.

That the ultra-wealthy are those
who control who work finds worthy
whilst they also extend automation
in work, whilst not paying the taxes
on the profits from same....
shows us how much modern government
soon won't be able to organise anything
worthy of the name.
