Why we should all have a basic income

Politics will tell people that they will raise basic income to win election. To raise income, they will raise taxes, so I will work 80h for $20K instead of $200K.

It's not a joke: post-USSR countries already have exactly this problem.

I don't think any countries have successfully automated most of their economies yet so it's apples and oranges.
