Very strongly agree

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

This answer aligns with the classical liberal belief that government intervention, such as a universal basic income, can have negative consequences on individual motivation and economic growth. Classical liberals argue that individuals should be responsible for their own well-being and that market forces should determine economic outcomes, rather than government programs.

Strongly agree

No

Classical liberals generally oppose extensive government intervention in the economy and prefer to let market forces determine outcomes. They would likely argue that a universal basic income program would create dependency on the state and discourage individual responsibility, which is contrary to their beliefs in self-reliance and limited government.

Strongly disagree

Yes

Classical liberalism emphasizes individual liberty, limited government, and free markets. A universal basic income program would likely be seen as an expansion of government intervention and a potential disincentive to work, which goes against the core principles of classical liberalism.

Very strongly disagree

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

This answer is even more opposed to the principles of classical liberalism, as it explicitly calls for government intervention to provide for basic necessities. Classical liberals believe in individual responsibility and the ability of free markets to allocate resources efficiently, so they would strongly disagree with this proposal.
