This is funny. kr and I were discussing SN's rewards this morning and I asked in one of brainstorming debates:

What if Canada collected 100% tax on all transactions in its economy, determining what all citizens should be paid, and sending them a paycheck every hour?

I think most people would prefer to be self-employed. Our economies are terrible at enabling it though.

Is that even reasonable?
Every hour...that will be a lot of processing power for no reason.
Doont you guys get paid weekly or every two weeks?

Self employment has great tax benefits but less benefits and job security. I would like to see anyone who is not employed in the public sector to be able to opt in to be recognized as self employed under the law/tax law.
