As poverty, homelessness, and hunger continue to rise, it is time to consider a solution that everyone from Richard Nixon to Martin Luther King could agree on - Basic Income. Giving everyone money to afford the basic necessities of life is the best, most efficient, and most humane way to address the growing social concerns that surround wealth inequality in America.
Why is this important?
Basic Income is the best solution available today to free workers from dead-end wage-slavery and empower ordinary people to experience real, meaningful freedom in their working lives and career choices. Basic Income is scientifically proven by numerous studies to improve many different measures of cultural health, improve education, reduce crime, and prevent civil unrest - all without costing more than today's inefficient welfare system or discouraging work incentives. With automation and technological unemployment on the rise, Basic Income is the next logical step toward responsive community economics.
