"Many people have a visceral dislike to the idea of giving away money (though I think some redistribution of wealth is required to reasonably equalize opportunity), and certainly the default worry is that people would just sit around and waste time on the Internet. Well -- I don't think that completely does justice to all of the concerns about this. What about inflationary worries? If it's taken as a given that everyone gets X dollars, doesn't that just encourage inflation, much like what has happened in education with the easy availability of student loans? Right or wrong, that's an objection I've heard voiced before -- and it's more sensible/understandable than just greed or an intrinsic aversion to generosity towards the less well off as is painted in the quoted section.
