Re:Why we should give free money to everyone by Grokit on Tuesday January 07, 2014 @04:33PM (#7020113)
I think your math might be a little off. The idea isn't to give basic income to everyone. The idea would be basically give it to anyone who can't afford basic living expenses. Not to everyone. It's not 25% of the entire population that isn't working, but only 25% of the poorest people being provided income and who probably weren't working anyways

I think it's you who has misunderstood basic income. Under most schemes everyone gets it. That's the whole point.
