Do you support a universal basic income program?

Yes, but more through providing essential services such as healthcare, public transport, and other social services.

Yes, and use the wages from automated machines that replaced jobs

Yes, but only those who are below the poverty line should be granted this income.

yes and no, everyone should receive an income but it wont mean stop working.

No, Universal Basic income without Single payer healthcare, Free College, and Housing Programs is a distraction from those policies

Somewhat, a negative income tax would be more effective

Yes, but only if they make less than a certain amount

No, other social programs are better than leaving it up to the market

Yes, if it is of decent quality. Free/Less expensive government plans usually aren't good quality and are unreliable.

yes, but not enough to quick working

They should make it so only those who need it get it. and bring more jobs back to America rather then out sourcing.

no this would be an excuse for the destruction of the welfare state

Yes, it should be just enough to help people get by, but not enough for people to live on without some form of extra income.

At a certain age to support the elderly with no income.

People need to actually have a real reason to have this, but if they do, like autism or some other thing that keeps them from working a normal job, than yes.

i have absolutely no idea what this is...

No, cause there's no guarantee that the money will go to food and housing. Perhaps increase food subsidies.

I think this is good but people who already have a lot of money don't need this. And make it to where those people eligible are also helping the community and not just feeding off of this.

Yes but there should be a specific reason that they can't do it on their own and they should still need to work and be provided what they can't provide themselves

Yes, so everyone can survive and pay what they need to pay.

Unity is our only resort

I say yes and no because we should all be able to have basic necessities but at the same time it would encourage people to not work and harm economic growth.

yes, but you have to be working, applying, or in school to benefit

Not until national debt is over

piiioioioi

UBI is an excellent idea but to give money and not ensure such money will be sapped up by landlords and grocers on a large sale could cause no proper change to occur

Yes, but that shouldn't be used to strip current welfare programs because it would lead to price shoking

no i want socialism

For people in need only.

Yes, as long as existing welfare programs and social safety nets aren't eroded as a result.

Yes, enough to help those in need become more financially secure but it should not be so much that people stop working and moving society forward.

Yes, but there must be proof of income and a review for those who need it every 6-12 months.

Only if it's not funded with regressive taxes

Yes, but it should only be allowed to be given to individuals that are struggling to provide for their basic needs.

I think money should be going to help people who face unfortunate events as the result of an emergency

Yes, but u can not be doing drugs and weekly drug text and spend it on stuff u need.

I think this can help some people but can also hurt the economy, I'm indifferent but it does sound like a good idea only if people use it for good.

I believe that people that are trying and have a job but cant support should get help

No, I support universal basic wealth. Income just gets spent. We have sufficient GDP now to guarantee all people the ability to support themselves just on the interest income from their share.

Yes, but for people that are proven to be unable to live without the program.

Yes, but automated space communism is a better solution

I do not have information or know enough to take a stand

If your career field is replaced by automation, then you should get an income for a limited time until you receive the training for or have another career.

This should be a service to those having children, adopting, with medical/psychiatric conditions, Etc. who do not have the ability to work.

If done correctly this could help a lot of people out. But the way I see people use our welfare system now it would only encourage people not to work. While I know some people only use the welfare money on necessities I also see a lot use it for wants instead of needs. Until some way of making sure people receiving benefits are working and not wasting, I disagree in the need for this. Though I was also raised to show that hard work will get you something.

Yes, but only if the federal minimum wage is not a living wage

I'd say that it will be better long term

this should be avaiable to the low income familys and or people that are working but need a little more help.

Yes, but only to those whose income is currently less than the amount received by a UBI system

Yes, but this should be decided and implemented at a state level similar to Alaska.

Only if you're of legal age and are completely unable to pick up a job of any kind

I believe that young adults should have access to an income that covers basic necessities including food and housing for the first 3 years of their lives to encourage them to balance their work income. I also believe the elderly and retired should have access to these benefits without limitations once they hit a certain age.

Only for the people who really need it

Yes, but the person needs to provide a source of income from a job. If without a job, there needs to be documentation of why that it. Ex. injury

yes, but it should phase out existing welfare programs

Yes, but I would rather support decommodification of basic necessities such as food and housing.

Yes, but require those that can work to seek out jobs while receiving it

Yes but require that people over the age of 18 work 25+ hours a week to get this funding, and anyone under 18 must be enrolled in school & this money should be taxable like any other income

Yes, however you have to have maintained employment for the majority of the time period. We can't give out free money to people who aren't working towards making money themselves. In addition, people on social security and disability would not receive. They are not putting into the system so they should not be taking out more than they already are. I think it would also slow they rate at which people get on social security. They wouldn't use it until they need it. It could be used a reward system for people who are putting in the effort.

I don't have enough information about this question to make an opinion on.

No, this will eventually lead to inflation. We can’t just keep upping the UBI so in the long run it’s not going to solve anything unless you can solve the inflation issue.

Yes, if they pay taxes.

Having a small boost in income would help certain families in or near poverty, and shouldn't be raised to the point where somebody could life off it. It should be complimentary to a hard working citizen's already existing paycheck.

There should be a sum for people for the homeless, those in poverty, and struggling lower middle class (>35,000 income from a family with three or more)

Yes, but you must have a job or actively look for work and prove it

yes, but programs should be enforced to make sure this runs smoothly and honestly

There should be a pilot program to see the economic and social impact the basic income would have

Yes, but only for senior citizens, terminally ill and severely disabled

yes, but with strict regulations on elegebilty.

Yes, but individuals need to have a job or be actively looking for one, similar to how the unemployment system works. Unless they are unable to work due to illness

Everyone should receive a benefit check from the extraction of natural resources similar to the one in Alaska, Everyone should be guaranteed a job if they choose to work and if the private sector isn't stable enough to provide those jobs, the US gov't should. There's plenty of work that needs to be done that is not being funded or relies on volunteers. We need to fund those projects to give people work.
