Yes, but it should be introduced as a response to increased automation and with a concomitant set of programs that ensure people are not merely living vegetative lives as a result of the freedom they've been given.

No but support people with disabilities and from vulnerable groups to have accesss for food and housing.

Yes, but only if done so in such a way so as not to be simply subsidising the profits of private landlords and companies (e.g. supermarkets)

I support a negative income tax policy to help lower income families.

 @8TWN5Q3answered…3yrs3Y

Yes, but delivered as universal basic services, otherwise will lead to inflation.

 @8RN2482answered…3yrs3Y

Yes, but everyone must prove via job applications, that they put an honest effort in finding a job.

Yes, everyone should receive an income to cover basic necessities including food and housing while encouraging people to work

 @9BXDBZ3from Missouri answered…12mos12MO

Yes, but only as a temporary solution to food/water/housing distribution. Inequalities will persist until capitalism is abolished

 @8QYGC6LGreen Leftanswered…3yrs3Y

 @8QV9W7Vanswered…3yrs3Y

Yes, everyone should receive a base income to cover necessities, however, a system needs to be implemented to ensure people are not taking advantage of the system

How would the knowledge that everyone in your school receives a small income change the dynamics of your friendships and collaborations?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…5mos5MO

Reflect on the roles of tradition and adaptability in society: would a guaranteed income represent progress or dependence?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…5mos5MO

Could the promise of a universal basic income encourage innovation and risk-taking among young people, and if so, how?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…5mos5MO

How fair is it to fund a universal income with taxes, and would it affect your view on how hard you should work or how much you should earn?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…5mos5MO

Do you believe humans are motivated to work solely by money, or do we seek deeper meaning in our careers?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…5mos5MO

Without the fear of financial instability, what dreams or projects would you pursue that you might not feel able to currently?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…5mos5MO

Imagine a society where your basic needs were met without working; what positive and negative effects do you think this might have on your community?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…5mos5MO

If you were guaranteed a basic income, how would you spend your additional free time or would it change at all?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…5mos5MO

Can a monthly sum of money improve happiness and if so, would it change the aspects of life you currently find most fulfilling?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…5mos5MO

How might receiving a steady, no-strings-attached income impact your ambitions and career choices?

  Deletedanswered…2yrs2Y

Yes, in the form of a Negative Income Tax to cover basic necessities including food and housing

 @DengekiMatsuko from California answered…2yrs2Y

Yes, but for those who are out of work and are actively looking for a job

 @94267X2 from Colorado answered…2yrs2Y

 @9425J2G from Florida answered…2yrs2Y

With an income cutoff - Stop making the rich richer and the poor stuck.

 @93ZQDBJ from California answered…2yrs2Y

UBI should be offered to people in poverty to increase the middle class and given as a temporary option to those who cannot support themselves.

 @93VGL9L from Minnesota answered…2yrs2Y

Yes, everyone should receive an income to cover basic necessities including food and housing, but only on a temporary/test basis. This way the government can get a baseline sense of the funding required to reduce food/housing disparity and can gauge the success of the program prior to deciding whether or not to implement long term.

 @57QKT6Tanswered…2yrs2Y

Yes, we are rapidly coming to a point in time where automation will make it difficult for everyone to find a job, especially those with disabilities or other factors preventing them from "moving up" in the world; all citizens should have their basic needs met with the option of working to gain more money for extras.

 @92JXK3J from New York answered…2yrs2Y

No. I support a National Dividend and Social Credit program as proposed by economist CH Douglas. I think it could solve the problems of UBI but also provide some of the positives of the UBI.

  Deletedanswered…2yrs2Y

No, universal basic income would cause inflation and no net change in people's quality of life.

 @EthanHars from Iowa answered…2yrs2Y

 @93CS3TH from Texas answered…2yrs2Y

We should wait to consider a program like this until more data is avaliable.

 @93BDMP6 from California answered…2yrs2Y

Yes, if all other forms of welfare are eliminated and there are no income phase-outs

 @Panagioti999 from Michigan answered…2yrs2Y

No, expand other social welfare programs like Medicare/Medicaid, food stamps, and housing assistance instead. UBI is a back door to austerity.
