Jay Sawyer of Chicago Asks If All People Should Have Universal Basic Income

According to Jay Sawyer of Chicago, there are many benefits of UBI besides ensuring a minimum standard of income for everyone.

Moreover, the Americans could have simple, straightforward financial assistance that minimizes bureaucracy. But free income could perpetuate the falling labor force participation rate.
