And self-respect. What Golden-age do UBI proponents imagine in which everyone is massively dependent on a state entity, in which young men and women grow up without an impetus to become self-sustaining adults, in which everyone is an "artist" working on their book, one Facebook alt-tab at a time.
It would begin with a basic income. And once it is in place, would voters every pick the candidate that promises to reduce or persist the current rate of free money? It's impossible for UBI to not explode in scope over the course of a few election cycles.
