Basic income might be okay in the beginning. But over time, I forsee more and more people using it, depending on it, and not contributing enough back into the system. Eventually it will collapse. In my old neighborhood, I've seen generations of families living on welfare. They have no incentive to get a job and would much rather live without having to work. Since having children means more money from the government, the daughters of the family have as many as possible. We need to promote prosperity, not deincenitivize it. There should be a law in place that to vote on ideas like this, you need to prove that you paid some sort of tax in the last year. It could even be at a minimum wage job. This way, we don't have people that don't know what it's like to pay money to the government, voting on laws in which they will never contribute. I know so many people that change their mind on some of these ideas, when they realize they will be getting less money in their paycheck.
