Do you support a universal basic income program?

No, but corporations should be required to pay their employees livable wages, respective to the cost of living in the employee's area

I think yes, everyone should get help with housing and food but still encourage work by maybe watching how much they come into work, and if they don't they will not get any more help with housing or food. So it would be either work and get some help with the things or if you don't work you won't get help at all.

I think that UBI should be imputed for households who earn under a certain amount per year as well as those on the street.

Yes, but only when there is a global pandemic where lockdowns are necessary to flatten the curve, which results to people losing their income because of Job losses. But the government also has the responsibility of incentivizing people on going back to work once the lockdowns are lifted. We should also Mandate Covid-19 Vaccines so we don't have to enforce another lockdowns.

No, I believe that a direct cash hand out is very exploitable, and would not directly solve the poverty issue. However, I believe the government should supply a basic standard of living for those who want it but I think it should be provided through housing, food stamps, free education etc

Only for people in need

Difficult to say sole yes or no.

It's debatable. I see the potential in it, but I can't see it being a viable program for a government to make considering that social security already costs a lot to maintain. So no, I'm not particularily in favour of it.

Yes, we are rapidly coming to a point in time where automation will make it difficult for everyone to find a job, especially those with disabilities or other factors preventing them from "moving up" in the world; all citizens should have their basic needs met with the option of working to gain more money for extras.

Use it to replace the current welfare system, which incentivizes people to stay poor rather than build themselves up.

I support $500 a month universal basic income

No, this would create the need for drastic restructuring of funding for existing social programs, and the program would be difficult to administer as the cost-of-living varies greatly in different regions of the country. Expand existing social programs instead by raising the income cap so more people qualify for their benefits.

No, needs testing is more effective by using progressive taxation to increase funding and expansion of existing federal welfare, housing, and food stamp programs

No, needs testing can be more effectively assured by using progressive taxation to increase funding and expand the coverage of existing federal welfare and housing programs as well as the federal food stamps program

No, increase funding for already established social welfare programs and raise the cap on income eligibility requirements

No, increase funding and raise the income eligibility requirements for already established social welfare programs instead

Only for people that truly need help or immigrants who have nothing.

For the people who need it.

Only in times of crisis.

Maybe, depending on the results of a few local trials.

Only to a certain point and for people who truly need the help.

No, instead increase minimum wage and unemployment rates.

Yes, but I'd prefer a Federal Jobs Guarantee

Yes but they have to prove they aren’t wasting the money on things like drugs and such

No, but SNAP should be expanded.

Not universal, but a Negative Income Tax system.

Yes, for all minors, elders (65+), pregnant women, new mothers, people with physical or mental issues, and involuntary unemployed willing to train and accept job offers and as a replacement for the current welfare system, but A pilot project should be commissioned and its result studied before implementing a universal basic income program

While i can agree to a certain extent that the UBI would cause some to dropout of the workforce, it benefits those that can't work and have no source of income.

everyone should receive an income to cover basic necessities if they are unable to work due to disability

Yes, but only during an economical crisis

Yes, but only for unemployed but require employment after an amount of time unless disabled or an elderly. Needs more requirements before approval.

Yes, but at the current point in time with the deficit and debt, it should not be implemented currently. Maybe someday in the future.
