When I was in college I needed an "A" in an ethics course I had to take.

I thought to myself, "What is the stupidest, most ridiculous feel-good thing I could write about for my thesis.?"

So I decided to invent the system described here.

It was stupid enough to get me an "A."

I’m not one of them, but certain people on the RIGHT side of the aisle support this idea.

- Pro-traditional family groups, wanting to encourage the idea of stay-at-home moms and of intact families having more children.

- A minority of deficit hawks. Conceding that a certain portion of your population is going to end up on welfare anyway, cutting to the chase and just cutting them a lump-sum check every month would eliminate dozens of overlapping welfare programs, and allow a lot of bureaucracies, bureaucrats and spending to be cut.

Milton Friedman among others advocated the latter point.

And frankly we are going to reach a stage where so many jobs are automated that this will become the only way to avert social chaos.

It’s YOUR fault this is happening :) That professor probably took your paper and ran to the next social event to share the new idea of an amazing new fair society.
