Negative Income Tax Plan Faces Defects and Incentive Concerns
The discussion compares a guaranteed minimum income of 3200 dollars with a negative income tax proposal. Critics warn it would erode work incentives, while proponents argue NIT avoids that flaw by tying benefits to earned income. The concept hinges on balancing subsidies with taxation to preserve effort.

The article notes that in each year of the past decade since 1958 the United States spent more on defense than it collected in individual income taxes. It adds that interest on the national debt, driven by war and defense, is not included in those tax comparisons. It mentions a large casualty insurer paying out about $1 million daily to accident victims.
