Chris Ladd, "How to End the Welfare State"

This article argues that a basic income has something for Republicans and Democrats. Chris Ladd asks, "How would Republicans react to a proposal that would eliminate the food stamp program, shut down welfare, slash the state and federal workforce, replace Social Security, and end the minimum wage? How would Democrats respond if that same program extended the social safety net across the entire scope of the population, eliminating poverty and fueling opportunity in under-developed areas?"
