Universal Basic Income may sound like a good idea on the surface, but the reality is quite different. Andrew Yang's proposal of UBI fails to address the underlying issues that contribute to poverty. It promotes dependency on the government and discourages individuals from seeking employment and improving their skills. Additionally, implementing UBI would require a massive increase in taxes, burdening hardworking taxpayers. Instead of a handout, we should focus on creating job opportunities and empowering individuals to uplift themselves from poverty.
