only for people in bottom 2 tax brackets and those who are actively trying for 6 months+ and can't get enough income

 @9KBTZSBfrom Connecticut answered…2mos2MO

Yes, but only if they regularly prove they are actively working to provide for themselves(but it not being enough)

 @9JQ2KY4from Michigan answered…3mos3MO

cheeseburgers should be paid to every unemployed man and also feed them orange juice and those cheeseburgers

 @9JB8X9QLeftanswered…3mos3MO

No, the basic necessities must be covered without the need of an income to do so. The income should be for outside of basic needs stuff.

 @9GFM2CNSocial Democraticanswered…6mos6MO

Poor people should receive an income to cover their basic necessities and a program should help them to find a job

 @9GCHGH5Free Democraticfrom Oregon answered…6mos6MO

No, I don’t think it’s not good ideas. If the government create universal income programs then that will make people lazy to work and relays on basic income. However, government can provide some types of assistance or stimulus programs when there are crises such as COVID-19 pandemic.

 @9FHJZR7from Pennsylvania answered…7mos7MO

A program should be established that targets specific brackets relating to the families income, rather than every family/individual receiving a national constant income from the government

It's going to be needed in the future, more complex than a multi choice answer.

Yes, but only when automation levels reach a tipping point at which people are struggling to find jobs or the market becomes saturated.

 @9CPMQ3Pfrom District of Columbia answered…10mos10MO

People who exhibit interest in leveraging their lives should only be eligible for universal basic income.

 @9C373KCfrom Virginia answered…11mos11MO

depending on salary and work hours, certain benefits be received based on these variables.

 @99ZNFDGanswered…1yr1Y

No, it could replace government services and allow more private control of the economy, however, in principle, it is a nice idea

 @99ZDXGLanswered…1yr1Y

Yes but a (possibly) negative income tax is just objectively better.

Implementing long-term social services and welfare reform is more essential than UBI which is not sustainable, however exceptions for those negatively impacted during the COVID-19 pandemic can be made in order to cover basic necessities short-term

 @99M6RWCanswered…1yr1Y

Yes, everyone should receive an income to cover basic necessities including food and housing but this exclude abled people who willfully refuse to perform any work

 @99LH4BRanswered…1yr1Y

Yes but it should be checked upon, like the people who have it have to show that they are trying to find a job or have a medical reason why they can’t work

No, it is not the most efficient way to ensure that basic necessities are met by the national safety net.

Maybe in the future as a consequence of automation, unsure right now.

 @97TX2XVfrom Idaho answered…1yr1Y

I believe rather than supplying money directly could be harmful to the health of the economy. Based on that assumption low/no income residents should receive the the goods/services directly to cut down on the chance of the system being compromised and taken advantage of. To further combat this the German Government could implement systems that seek to give these low/no income residents jobs to improve their current position.

 @969YFXWanswered…2yrs2Y

Yes but everyone should have the right and the duty to Work (well paying Jobs)

 @95SLR4Lanswered…2yrs2Y

Yes, but all other forms of welfare should be removed to fund it by the means of less bureaucracy while at the same time allowing people who really need the money to spend their free time improving themselves, finding work or spending time with their families rather than filing paper work.

 @94736KPanswered…2yrs2Y

Yes, but universal basic income should come with some conditions, such as they have to look for a job. Also, people should always have more money when they work, as if they do not work.

 @8PFSPPYanswered…3yrs3Y

Sounds good but will inevitably lead to dismantling of current social security, further rent hikes and increase of other costs of living

 @ISIDEWITHasked…5mos5MO

How would the knowledge that everyone in your school receives a small income change the dynamics of your friendships and collaborations?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…5mos5MO

Reflect on the roles of tradition and adaptability in society: would a guaranteed income represent progress or dependence?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…5mos5MO

Could the promise of a universal basic income encourage innovation and risk-taking among young people, and if so, how?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…5mos5MO

How fair is it to fund a universal income with taxes, and would it affect your view on how hard you should work or how much you should earn?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…5mos5MO

Do you believe humans are motivated to work solely by money, or do we seek deeper meaning in our careers?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…5mos5MO

Without the fear of financial instability, what dreams or projects would you pursue that you might not feel able to currently?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…5mos5MO

Imagine a society where your basic needs were met without working; what positive and negative effects do you think this might have on your community?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…5mos5MO

If you were guaranteed a basic income, how would you spend your additional free time or would it change at all?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…5mos5MO

Can a monthly sum of money improve happiness and if so, would it change the aspects of life you currently find most fulfilling?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…5mos5MO

How might receiving a steady, no-strings-attached income impact your ambitions and career choices?
