Thank you for the reply. I would have to disagree with the premise of Universal Basic Income. Politics aside (I really do try to avoid them) I know many people in my day to day life who don't work at all. I know many people in their 20's, 30's, 40's and yes even 50's who don't work and "sponge" off their parents. It's almost like a disease of the entitled. Many of these people often take advantage of their parents kind nature and inability to say the word "No." Yet many of these workless people with no skills or contributions seem to have to problems constantly running afoul of the law or using drugs a daily basis. I would it find horrendous if any part of any taxes I pay would go to subsidize or support them. (I am not obtuse enough to claim that everyone is like this) But the saying goes a few bad apples spoil the bunch. I am glad you enjoyed the article, please feel free to respond or reply as I would really like to hear the counter-argument to this you may sway myself and others opinions.

I also followed you and upvoted you :)
