Whole UBI idea is just for make citizens more dependent on state rather than free market. Capitalism vs socialism.


Tbh, I'm not against a Basic Income. I'm against the "Universal" part. A basic income should be something handed out to those in need of it and they should be helped so they can stop relying on it.

Thus handing out 20k to everybody no matter their situation seems like a really bad idea to me.


Isn't that what we already have? Social benefits for those who really nees them?
