Basic income is about giving choice to those who otherwise do not have it.

Wasted potential of people who do not want to contribute? What potential does forced labor have? I would argue that we waste so much more potential by keeping people in poverty and living pay check to pay check. Working 60 - 70 hour weeks to just meeting the basic needs. Families who can not spend any time together since mom and dad need to both work 50 hour weeks and are to exhausted to spend any meaningful time with their children.

A few opposite questions,

Who job is it to provide meaningful work too every America citizen?

How much money is a living wage?

How many hours per week does every American citizen need to work to be able meeting their house, Food and energy needs?

How do we create this above in every location across the entire united states?
