You are right. In India group of economists are working on Basic Income for Farmers. Governments dont care whether farmer is living or dying. Farmer Suicides are rising every day. If Basic Income becomes reality there will be more respect and equilibrium in society.  In India People spend more on Temples than paying taxes to governments. Because governments are busy filling their own coffers, supporting their own people who gave election funding to them. the government corporate nexus is so big in India that poor often remains poor for whole generation. Basic income will give more opportunities for all. I am in support of Basic Income. Thanks
