If sustainability is your concern, look at the current system that has massively concentrated wealth into corporations, their limited shareholders, while they pay menial or zero taxes thanks to loopholes and writing the laws themselves--while the middle class has disappeared. that's not sustainable. The only answer, since corporations own the legislatures both state and federal, is to distribute wealth through popular vote--if we must.

Having people who have to work more hours than their parents did, maybe through in an extra job--only they aren't even getting ahead, this is just to pay usurious car insurance, price gouging groceries, companies forcing non-competes on employees so they can't leave to get better wages, algorithymically-aligned rents violating anti-trust that's not been enforced for decades, topped off by the supreme court limiting even class action suits against major companies...that's not sustainable.

Seriously, this has to be among the simplest of solutions for a simple problem that people keep trying to make complex by obfuscation.
