    So guaranteeing a lazy asshole in Oklahoma Seattle an income will make him not be lazy.

    Right

    Nothing's changed with him; he has that already.
    And with your plantation mentality he won't change.

    So the point is that overall it would be cheaper and more efficient to provide a cash subsidy in lieu of the all the special program bullshit (housing, job training, health insurance, food stamps, etc) and let the free market dictate the outcomes? Eliminate a massive amount of bureaucracy / overhead and let market forces work? Even for the perennially unemployed? It does sound compellling.

    Yeah, right. You get to keep all your shit and lock yourself into a nice ride into the sunset.

    You really think there are enough small thinkers willing to permanently surrender their futures to get this passed for you?
