Stop Me Before I Vote Again

If you want to put direct consumer pressure on education and health service, the basic income is the way to go. if you want to limit what people do with the money, put it on a debit card with a penalty rate for any non-approved spending and a bonus nudge for approved spending, e.g. a dollar spent on child grinding would buy a dollar and ten cents of grinding. A dollar spent sending the little monsters to the movies would pay ninety cents towards their tickets. Etc. So forth.

There's a treasure chest of salutary, exquisitely moral nudges and soft, tender little punishments. Congress could have fist fights over them. Combine the system with random pepper spraying, to keep everyone alert, and you'd have a market system the entire world would drool over.

You did snare me. But when I went to edit my comment I saw your Hobson whistling something from Threepenny Opera and trying to look nonchalant. If I can be forgiven for this horrible stew, I realized I had to grasp the damoclean sword by the thorns and cut the nettlesome gordian knot.
