    Sounds like the new world of unemployment.

    If the country can afford it great, little more than a tax rebate for those who pay taxes.

    OK, tax rebates made in installments.

    Of course for those who do not pay taxes, free money from the government.

    Yes, it replaces both the tax rebate system and the social services system generally simplifying the whole thing. That is why it often has bipartisan support.

    Sort of.

    Most calculations point towards the basic income system actually costing less than the current systems we use.

    I'm very interested in what the results of the experiment will be.

    I don't look at it so much as a "tab" as I do a count down, kinda like for a rocket launch, only, the rocket explodes sending joyful left wing and Islamic celebrations around the world. 😵

    As government taxes do away with more and more jobs, the government becomes that more important. We must make government bigger to take care of me in this new normal.
