Quite the unsupported fantasy you've put forward - sounds similar to the argument that once people have enough money they'll stop working, so better pay them on

Quite the unsupported fantasy you've put forward - sounds similar to the argument that once people have enough money they'll stop working, so better pay them only enough to survive - until you include billionaires into the equation, who don't stop working when they have enough to live for 1,000s of years.
- AlexTWithBeard 6y agoBillionaires are crazy kind of folks. To realize what people are going to do when they don't have to work, look at those in retirement: gardening, choir singing, lotto may be?
- marakv2 6y agoSo disappointed that batman/social reform was never realised by those folk.
- maskedoffender 6y agoRight, billionaires will do whatever they can to earn more, including leaving a country with high tax rates. But a lot of people if guaranteed a minimal quality of living would just stop working and do things that they like (that don't necessarily make money) and that's the whole point of UBI.
