What a cop-out calling it &quot;basic income&quot;. As if it&#x27;s somehow &quot;free money&quot;. Really it&#x27;s just a further institutionalization of theft, of course making people more dependent on mother government. Imagine the debate, should we raise basic income by x or 2x?<p>The solution is not more laws, it&#x27;s less. For example ending the war on drugs would have a immediate effect on the lower income brackets. If I didnt pay &gt;1&#x2F;3 of my income to support our $T war complex I could hire more people.
