I Am Going to Say Something Controversial

@har7070 Work comes first, salary later

@Cierzo , basic income isn't the same thing as salary, this is a common misconception.
Basic income is a form of financial safety net.

@har7070 And a way to make people slave to the state

@Cierzo , slavery is a limitation of freedom. In what way someone offering you money with no strings attached is enslaving you?

@har7070 If you dare to disagree with the providing state, basic income may be cut.

@har7070 what a tool, an utterly stupid tool

@Cierzo, I am advocating _for_ state's involvement in income redistribution and population welfare.

@katielass, can you please, explain why do you think it's stupid?

@Cierzo @har7070 Okay... I want to sit on my ass and collect money no strings attached

@SW-User, and I'm willing to give up a part of my income for that.
I think, people arguing about this tend to miss the other part of the equation.
Yes, no doubt, there will be people who will sit on their asses doing nothing.
But I'm convinced, the majority of people would want to keep themselves busy, and will occupy themselves with music, art, science, volunteer work or work in a field where they find their passion.
The society as a whole will be happier if people will be freed from the constant worry about their physical survival.

@har7070 Well good you can give my share too

@SW-User, we all need to work towards this goal :-)
The simplest thing any of us can do is to think where we want to be as a society before casting our votes in an election.
