I've recently been reading people talk about universal basic income / guaranteed income. The idea that the state should provide welfare to everyone. The idea being that it enables more people to be productive by ensuring that they have the resources to work / start businesses. Less stress. Reduced strain on healthcare. Long term higher tax revenues.
Did you know UBI was tried in USA? See:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Family_Assistance_Plan
I dropped this bombshell on IRC earlier. Anyway, I support UBI. It's a good idea.
