‘Cut Government red tape, reduce poverty and boost employment’

REALLY? How will giving people money, guaranteeing they won’t bother to try to find work boost employment???

Welfare is currently a disincentive to employment, as benefits decrease with employment.

So, this taking the place of welfare reduces disincentives for employment.

Milton Friedman championed a similar idea.

Supposedly, you also get rid of a lot of bureaucracy in the process.
