Re: bureaucracy If it was truly universal - no exceptions, no means-testing, etc - then the "bureaucracy" around this one is negligible. While I'm intrigued by a Basic Income approach, I don't think the bureaucracies would be willing to give up the power that they have to shape and influence people and society as a whole. It is exceptionally rare in human history that a government has given up power. I think that is what will kill most of these Basic Income proposals, not even considering the math of taxes.
