The real case for universal basic income in my view is not financial, it is moral.

To-infinitive

Gerund

a person must spend that life doing important things such as raising a

family, holding a job that is satisfying and fulfilling, being a good member of

one's community. For those roles to be satisfying, people have to have

responsibility for what those institutions do. Have responsibility for

the decisions they make. One of the things that the lucky people in society

already have is a life in which they know they can take responsibility for

they can live the lives they see fit. What a universal basic income will do is make

that same possibility for a satisfying life

open to everyone, and that would be a fulfillment of the American dream that

goes far beyond the usual notions of a nice house in the suburbs.
