I like the idea but its definitely DEFINITELY wrong approach, u r putting too much power into government hands, u r contradicting yr self, one time u say government don't know what best, then u state that government to help ppl.
If government gives u money, they control u even more, may one one day they will come and say "hey, we have no more!!"
The problem with government is there is no transparency, Alaska example is very poor, they give ppl money, less taxes, etc... because they don't want them to leave, not to support them, Senior citizen is also a very poor example, these senior citizen we're paying all the life to Social security so they take this money in their retirement, Its their money, not government money
Government having control is socialism, there should be other way to make ppl earn a stable income even without working but it HAVE TO BE Independent from government
RE: So you think universal basic income is "free money" or "socialism"? Think again.
