This sounds gullible and utopian, but think about it. Robotics and Artificial Intelligence are making great strides (just yesterday a supercomputer passed the Turing Test) and the day where lower corporate drones in charge of menial tasks will be replaced by machines will come sooner than later.
Productivity gains will allow for a smarter redistribution of a nation's wealth.
