I wonder if there is a way to structure it as a dividend from the profits gained by unemploying people via automation. That way, fixed-income voters have a double incentive to advocate for policies of more automation:

- It goes into their pockets

- It reduces their cost of living

If they vote in large numbers, as retirees do, that creates a large constituency to remove red tape.

The problem is making sure there is still enough profit motive to invest.
