We have some forms of this, such as the earned income tax credit, but it doesn’t go nearly far enough.

I like the the idea of a reverse income tax at the lower levels and wish it was more popular, but it needs to be done in a way that it doesn’t discourage earning more money.

A negative income tax would only discourage earning money in the same way that a progressive income tax does anyway, right? Or do you mean more from a psychological perspective?

How is that so?
