The best guess answer to that is making it so everyone doesn't have to work unless they want to via a citizen's income http://www.citizensincome.org/


I don't understand why did they rename the concept of basic income to "citizen's", aren't they shooting themselves in the foot by confusing people?


Many objections to ideas around social benefits are not around the practicality of it, but whether non-citizens could 'unjustly' get it. It makes sense from a branding point of view, at least in the American & Western European political milieu.
