Then you did not understand the quote. It's not about an objective morality (what is shameful, wasteful etc. to spend on). Spend the money you successfully exchanged with someone else the way you want it.
The morale case with the argument is that citizen should have their say in how their taxes are spend, and that each of one us have different goals so "living in dignity" cannot be accomplished by UBI.
- shkkmo 9y ago> Then you did not understand the quote. Perhaps you picked a bad quote then. That quote pretty explicitly contradicts your claim.
- ttoinou 9y agoThey are to be given "sufficient to live in dignity," and it is apparently to be no business of the taxpayers if a recipient chooses none the less to live without dignity Dignity is subjective ofc. If you think otherwise I can understand how you can interpret the quote in another way :)
- shkkmo 9y agoSince dignity is subjective, how can someone (the taxpayer) have any business having an opinion on whether someone else is living with dignity? I fail to see how the subjectivity of dignity has any relation to your claim that "What does matter is where does the money come from."
- ttoinou 9y agoThey don't have business in it. But they might find how their taxes are spent immoral from their point of view. UBI will never solve the economic problem of "we all should be living in dignity", ours values are subjective.
