Maybe I am naive, but I personally believe you can benefit from welfare or healthcare, even if you do not get any money directly.
I am quite happy, that some of my tax money is preventing to have multi-resistant tuberculosis, or STDs (or whatever other horror you can imagine) at every corner. Having a basic access to some healthcare is benefiting every one in the long run. Same for welfare, some basic minimum probably prevents some people to kill/rob just to eat. I wonder if that kind of relation has already been quantified.
I would probably be OK with a 20-33% reduction of my income if it was used to provide a universal basic income.

My only stipulation would be that all financial transactions, reporting, etc is openly available to the public online. I want a strong government providing support to its citizens, but I want it held ruthlessly accountable.
