Yeah but on the other hand, the evidence shows
a guaranteed minimum income is a great idea which doesn't negatively impact the incentive to work, except in college students and single moms, both of whom have better things to be doing than slaving away for minimum wage anyway. In fact, rather than making everyone 'lazy' people ended up working
harder because they were able to actually train for jobs they wanted rather than grinding away all their energy just to put food on the table. Turns out what motivates people isn't money, it's satisfaction.
The moral of the story is that welfare should be given to everyone.
The other moral of the story is that even if you adjudge welfare to be evil, letting people become homeless and starve to death is considerably moreso.
The third moral of the story is that paying for all the security, police, prisons, unwanted children, addiction clinics, and so forth which become required after the fact is a lot
more expensive than preventing this stuff in the first place. If libertardians want to keep as much of their money as possible they should be avowed social democrats, because it's a lot cheaper in the long run and there will be more people who actually have money to pay for things.
The fourth moral of the story is that PG still has absolutely no idea how the world works and shouldn't be trusted to give advice on painting your nails, let alone economic policies.
