Half of the country already has a guaranteed income. The other half has to pay for it.

That's true, but that's because of the convoluted socialist programs and departments in place. You have a negative income tax, and all of that would disappear.

With nobody working, nobody producing and making product, how can you guarantee anything?

Because with the minimum-wage and poverty programs abolished, there would be jobs galore. That guaranteed income can be used to pay for basic necessities while people get better jobs.

That would not work that way. Some people will never work. Those that do will soon be stoned for having more money than those who don’t work. You see, the problem is the nature of people. For some, the lack of income is pure laziness, sloth, criminal behavior and greed. Those same people would be griping that it is unfair that others have more money and job skills. There motto “I deserve more to make it even”.

This would accomplish nothing.

There is never enough.
