RE: Hi Steemit! Scott Santens here. If you've ever googled "basic income", you may have read something I've written.

I don't suggest taking away money, so it's possible you misunderstood me. I'm suggesting that people start each month with enough money to purchase their basic needs, and that in doing so, they would be more able to pursue the work they find most valuable to them, which would either be paid or unpaid depending on what's important to them.
