Moonbats Admit Universal Basic Income Doesn’t Work

Some egalitarian concepts are so terrible that even the moonbats at the Guardian admit they won’t work — like universal basic income:

A study published this week sheds doubt on ambitious claims made for universal basic income (UBI), the scheme that would give everyone regular, unconditional cash payments that are enough to live on. … Research conducted for Public Services International, a global trade union federation, reviewed for the first time 16 practical projects that have tested different ways of distributing regular cash payments to individuals across a range of poor, middle-income and rich countries, as well as copious literature on the topic.

It could find no evidence to suggest that such a scheme could be sustained for all individuals in any country in the short, medium or longer term – or that this approach could achieve lasting improvements in wellbeing or equality.

The same could be said for socialism in general. Unfortunately, that won’t stop politicians from trying to buy votes with it.

On a tip from 1-Bodhisattva.
