RE: Basic Income is a Crock

in #steem8 years ago

Those more capable can take care of those less able. At no point is it acceptable to steal. It does society and civilization no favor or progress taking care of the poor and disabled through theft and the threat of violence. Simply a trade of undesirables, and i would argue the threat of violence or the imagined 'authority' to use such violence is far worse.

Sort:  

I agree that morality dictates that violence is not a solution to this problem. This means the following:

  1. no violence against the rich
  2. no violence against the poor

Many in power today advocate eugenics to reduce world population. Others advocate stealing from the rich. Others say let them die from starvation if they cannot produce value.

I hope to find a solution that enables these people to continue to provide value to society. We need a new kind of "factory work" that can put to use the average human mind in a way that is more effective than AI. Perhaps Human Batteries?
