Problem with georgism is interesting

I like the little market distortion part. The socialism part is trickym

The problem with georgism is cradle to grave welfare recipients will have more incentive to have even more children

Say UBI is $3k a month. Then anyone born will have $3 a month extra. The poor will just have infinite babies.

Also say one state or one city pays $3k a month say to all adult.

Then everyone will just go to that city and collect extra $3 a month.

Then it wouldn’t be $3k a month. It would be $50 a month.

What I like with georgism is it’s supposedly reduce market distortion.

But just coming to a certain place or having more children is not economically productive acts and yet rewarded.

One solution is to turn them into join stock democracy first. Every voters have a share. Newborn babies don’t get UBI. Their parents must buy new share.

Another more natural way is just pay UBI to those eligible to votes. Democracy usually have ways to keep voting rights scarce. Then any immigrants coming must buy share or invest in communities or stay for 10 years before they can vote.

Keep voting rights scarce so fewer people got share.

Something like georgism with joint stock kibbutz can work.
