The parent comment claims simple modles wont work based on simple models.<p>The &quot;moving 0 on a scale&quot; argument is brought into play with minimum wage (for example 2:[1]) but it most likely wont happen.<p>There are other points completely ignored by the parent post like welfare already in place (shouldnt this cause the same effect?), dimishing effects, etc etc.<p>The parent comment cites nothing and mixes basic income with &quot;thats basically communism and communism has obviously failed&quot;.<p>I think there are reasons to downvote the parent comment, even though my comment does not provide much better quality.<p>[1] <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.salon.com&#x2F;2015&#x2F;08&#x2F;04&#x2F;the_7_most_dangerous_myths_about_the_fight_for_a_15_minimum_wage_partner&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.salon.com&#x2F;2015&#x2F;08&#x2F;04&#x2F;the_7_most_dangerous_myths_a...</a>
