Is this such a controversial idea? I mean not literally everyone, there are people with disabilities who need help. But is it asking too much that if someone wants food, housing, and necessities from society that they put in effort, in some way, to contribute back? If someone values their lives so little they they would rather not work and die, why should we spend resources on them?
In reality, this doesn't work because we aren't going to have 100% employment and not everyone is able to work. But it doesn't seem to be asking too much that those who can work (and need support) should work.
- NateDad 12y agoDo you really think people who get $12,000 a year aren't going to work? It's not about replacing income. It's about supplementing it. Everyone will still work. They'll just have $12,000 more with which to buy food, clothing, pay their car payment and rent, etc.
- bhayden 12y agoThere are a tremendous about people today, without $12k/year for free, who do not work and have no plans to.
