I don't care what the socialist DC think tanks think. If you single out people who work and tax only them then the PFD becomes welfare. Plain and simple. Cut gov first (whole agencies need to go). Next use the PFD if necessary to cover only gov that we can't do without (Natural resource extraction royalties and the PFD should fund the right size gov for centuries). We should replace property tax with a broad based sales tax on everything including property. (Sales tax on property could be spread out over time but would have to be paid before or at the time of sale, and the new buyer would be assessed their sales tax. Once you payed the sales tax and the mortgage, you would actually own the property). Everybody pays and actual home ownership.
