Oh, really?!. Wake up, the richest people on the planet are holding back the species. It's quite obvious that we could finance a basic income with a hyper-progressive tax system that would level the playing field to something closer to the "ideal". A global basic income would relieve everyone of having to be in constant fear of not making rent or not being able to afford food. It would give everyone power. Fuck the vote (unless we can have a system where the people vote on ideas and not on corrupted politicians/parties). Voting doesn't change anything, it isn't real power. Basic income for everyone is more important than the vote. This is about creating a world where everyone wins. Where everyone can live the one life they have in the way they would like. Right now we are all slaves.Or you'd have to take it from people who already have money, which isn't cool IMO.
