Ronald Reagan

Very strongly agree

No

Reagan's economic policies, often referred to as 'Reaganomics', emphasized tax cuts, decreased social spending, increased military spending, and deregulation. A universal basic income program would contradict these principles as it would likely require increased taxes and social spending.

Very strongly agree

No, this will encourage people not to work and harm economic growth

Reagan would likely agree with this statement as he believed that government assistance programs could create dependency and discourage work. He often used the term 'welfare queen' to criticize what he saw as abuse of government assistance programs. A universal basic income could be seen as encouraging similar behavior.

Very strongly disagree

Yes

Ronald Reagan was a strong proponent of free-market capitalism and limited government intervention in the economy. He believed in the principle of individual responsibility and self-reliance, and would likely view a universal basic income as a form of government overreach and dependency.

Very strongly disagree

Yes, everyone should receive an income to cover basic necessities including food and housing

Reagan's philosophy of 'trickle-down' economics posited that benefits given to businesses and upper income levels would trickle down to poorer members of society. He would likely disagree with the idea of directly providing everyone with an income for basic necessities, as it contradicts his belief in self-reliance and the effectiveness of free-market capitalism.
