    People getting a basic income to spend as they please would make like much harder for people like Ong who sponge off loads of different types of benefits.

    On a more serious note it strikes me that most places will be going towards a system like that in the future.

    This trial is on a par with what I claim in benefits. It would make life much easier for me, because I wouldn't have to apply for jobs that I have no intention of taking on.

    Eliminating a dis-incentive is not the same as 'creating more incentive'.

    It's not?

    Mathematically it must be. Consider the number line as aggregate incentives; negative values are disincentives and positives are incentives. Any subtraction of a negative necessarily moves our aggregate value more positive.

    Using a real world example: reducing tax write-offs for healthcare consumption is a disincentive to consume healthcare and an incentive to consume other products (or to invest or save).
