    I understand, I just don’t feel comfortable with the government deciding how much I earn. I also wouldn’t feel comfortable working as say an engineer or a scientist and earning the same amount as someone who didn’t have to go to college and work extremely hard for their job

      I mean, it doesn’t necessarily mean you can’t earn more money over your basic income from non-government organization. I’m not sure what’s so uncomfortable about the idea that people don’t have to find a job to have basic necessities available to them.

      You really don’t understand words do you? Have you confused “basic” to mean “maximum” or something?

      Depending on how you view it, it kinda already does.

      More literally it’s always your boss deciding that for you. Why is “the government” so different than a boss who wants to screw you over as much as humanly possible?
