> others must be coerced into handing over the fruits of their labor This is exactly taxation of all kinds. And your framing presupposes that these fruits that would be obtainable without the social structure that those payments support. Not to mention that, 'fruits of their labor' is a highly tendentious way of talking about a capitalist system. The fruits of their capital, perhaps. By and large, capital owners already extract a very large proportion of the 'fruits' of their employees labor. I think it is a very dubious argument whether basic income would all balance out, but it is no different in kind from any other social collectivism. |
