The article suggests that the Bible commands basic income and that economic conservatives like the idea.<p>As a lifelong student of the Bible and as an economic conservative of 20 years, I can say with certainty that this premise of the article is faulty.<p>Very early on in the Biblical text is the divine command to work and provide through labor. Basic income undermines and ultimately aims to eliminate this divine directive.<p>Among economic conservatives, we generally see Basic Income as a fool&#x27;s errand and a pipe dream pushed by idealistic, Utopian thought disconnected from real world economics. We see Basic Income as a foolish idea with disastrous implications for the economy if attempted.
