I completely agree with Max Sawicky regarding the proposed (by certain utopian libertarians mainly) Universal Basic Income. In many ways, I like the utopianism, and like Max I'm not worried about how it changes incentives for individuals. It's just that it would wreck other programs that, while less utopian, are actually successful. It would also be unfair to many, such as current and future social security recipients who had high income jobs.
What the idea is, actually, is a kind of hot potato used to smear existing programs while sounding even more "progressive" than they are. Max spells this out in great detail.
