Re:Why a Universal Basic Income Would Be a Calamity by fsloth on Sunday August 20, 2017 @08:14AM (#15058097)
Right to vote was disconnected from financial contribution in the western countries quite explicitly by the implementation of general suffrage roughly a century ago, where it usually replaced capital, class and gender based limitations. It would be quite a political throwback to reverse on this. Granted, the political shift was in part to pacify and commit critical industrial workers to the established financial order, but was driven in part by the general humanistic spirit.
