Some say it isn’t possible economically, some say it isn’t possible because companies would never do that. However, mathematically, it should work. Imagine you want to provide every Swiss citizen a yearly salary of 18’000 Swiss francs (consider that the cost of products will be very low due to automation, which is why 18’000 a year would be enough). With a population of 9 Million people, you have to give 162 Billion Swiss francs to the Swiss population. Swiss Companies generate around 700 Billion Swiss francs, when you ignore the cost of wages. Let’s just say we tax those Swiss companies for like 50%, so the state would have 350 Billion Swiss francs. That is totally enough to provide 162 Billion to the Swiss people! submitted by /u/Hot-Profile-1273
