If the country is a Republic like the U.S. AND controls the majority of a needed product, then the entire country could get say, a milion dollars per year per person and keep a strong military that would need a little more bucks....ok cut that down to 1/2 million.... ok back to the robots.. that's the military! We be in charge now.

Our defense budget is app. $350B now (being generous).

Our government budget is $1.2B per year.

We could take the $850B difference and allocate it to each person in the US now. That would be $32k per person per year for 265 million people including children.

So for a family of 5 that would be $160,000 per year.

Now then, WHY do we not do that today?

Off by a decimal place, it would be $3200/person/year.
