Whoa there Moshe! While there are undoubtedly counterproductive incentives created by a basic income program most governments already have numerous programs with arguably worse incentives that are less effective. In most conceptions of basics income it replaces all the other assistance programs for the poor. Although in practice this would be difficult for two reasons: (1) some people are simply incapable of budgeting their income across their needs and (2) the poverty industry would resist any reduction in their role. Eugenics and forced sterilization are as unnecessary with basic income as with the modern welfare state.
