The idea of a Universal Basic Income has been broached in a number of quarters in recent years (most recently by the Left in France I think).  In essence, as soon as we graduate from high school, we should all be drawing Social Security benefits, without the onus of ever paying into the account.

Imperial Rome tried a similar system - they called theirs "bread and circuses".  :-/

I'm interested to see that you think a USB-style society should be easily affordable via 'corporate taxes' , as if all corporations were infinitely profitable and could afford any burden placed upon them.  Good luck with that.

The only way forward, it would seem, is if (a) we as a society succeed in acquiring a source of abundant cheap energy to replace fossil fuels, and (b) AI advances to the point where all our material needs can be created by robotic labor (i.e., our upkeep doesn't implicitly require exploiting our neighbors).  Shades of John Varley's novel, "Steel Beach"!
