Proposition[edit]

A proposition from a french economist. Every person would start with a salary of 1500€, and could get a higher salary by proving their contribution to the GDP. There would be four levels for this life salary, the last one being 6000€. There would also be "ownership by use", which means that you own what you use. I don't think it's a very good idea, but I'd like to hear you opinions about this. Companies would also have new cotisations (a form of tax) that would go to an investment fund runned by employees of the companies, and extension of taxes to make other services free.

"Proving their contribution to GDP." Sounds simple enough! 90.210.93.12 (talk) 18:31, 14 December 2016 (UTC)

Yeah, the inventor of the system doesn't explain how to put in place such a system, that's one of the reasons for which I don't find it to be a really good idea.Diacelium (talk) 18:41, 14 December 2016 (UTC)
