Basic Income (sometimes called Citizen’s Income or Universal Basic Income) is a guaranteed, non-means-tested income, sufficient to cover basic needs, payable to every woman, man and child legally resident in the UK. It would replace personal tax-free allowances, and most social security benefits. Children would receive a reduced Basic Income, Child Benefit. People who are disabled and lone parents would be paid a supplement. Pensioners would receive their Basic Income as a Citizen’s Pension. Housing Benefit would be payable in the initial stages of a transfer to Basic Income.

You may not agree with this concept, but ask yourself this question:
How are We The People going to survive after robots take all our jobs?
I believe there are only two possible answers to this question:
1. Something like the "basic income" proposal; or
2. We're not (going to survive).
You can guess which answer the rich would prefer, can't you?
Which would YOU prefer?
