From an economic point of view.  How would you provide Basic income for everyone while at the same time eliminating the &quot;wage price spiral&quot; effect of normal goods such as milk and bread.  I am not an economist but I would be curious.<p>Another point would be who gets to decide what a basic income is.  Why stop at basic income.  One thing that always troubles me able minimal wage discussions is why start minimum wage as say $15 dollars an hour.  Why not $100.  I actually believe that if we eliminated the minimum wage altogether the wages for various jobs would be able to find a better equilibrium then setting a artificial minimum.  The argument the employers would reduce wages to $0.50 and the like would not happen because everyone would quit.
