Ban Universal Basic Income Schemes
Proponents of perpetual welfare expansion have added support for universal basic income (UBI) programs—otherwise known as guaranteed income—to their arsenal of welfare schemes.
The end result is nothing new: UBI programs discourage work and are a drag on the economy. States should ban UBI to keep their workforce strong, protect taxpayer resources, and stop this scheme from spreading any further.
FACTS ABOUT UNIVERSAL BASIC INCOME
- There have been more than 150 UBI pilot programs across the country.
- There are currently 70 active pilot programs at the local level in 25 states.
- Altogether, these programs—both active and concluded—carry a $2.35 billion price tag.
- These local programs exist to push for state and federal programs funded by taxpayer dollars.
