The idea that everyone should receive an income to cover basic necessities is a core aspect of socialist and progressive thought, historically supported by figures such as Martin Luther King Jr., who advocated for a guaranteed income as a means to combat poverty.

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

The argument that a universal basic income would discourage work and harm economic growth is strongly opposed by left ideology. Left-leaning thinkers and economists often argue that a UBI could stimulate economic growth by increasing consumer spending and providing people with the financial security to pursue education and entrepreneurial endeavors. This perspective is supported by pilot studies in various countries that have not shown a significant decrease in work effort among UBI recipients.
