Yes, but only if they get rid of all of the current welfare system we have in place now. Basic income should be designed to replace these programs and allow individuals more control in their own lives and a negative income tax as well.

People need to work for their money but I am not opposed to giving the very poor a helping hand once in a while. People should not be able to abuse this.

Yes, but only if they get rid of all of the current welfare system we have in place now. Basic income should be designed to replace these programs and allow individuals more control in their own lives.
Also, it should be used only for those who need it, and only in a way that ensures that the money is actually going to a necessity.

  Deletedanswered…3yrs3Y

No

No, I believe that we shouldn’t necessarily give out the money but rather provide opportunities for them to get on their feet financially and provide them with stable job opportunities.

Yes, for those who are in need, such as the elderly, disabled, families with children, the homeless, and the unemployed. However, those who are not yet working should be attending job training and skills development in order to qualify for the program.

Not until other local experiments have shown they have yielded positive results and proof they don't disincentive people from working. Then, I'd be all for those Freedom Bucks.
