[Why Basic Income?]

And where is all that money going to come from? Taxing the people who have jobs, right? That would basically be making charity mandatory and shifting the stress from those who don't work to those who do. Resources are limited, and for one person to have more, someone else must have less. A LOT less, if you're talking about feeding/clothing/supporting every homeless. You can't just pull money from the air and give it to the poor. The problem, at heart, is that there are far too many people. Resources are scarce as it is, and the need for employed individuals is getting smaller. A campaign to educate people on the problems of overpopulation and to GREATLY reduce the rate of procreation is the only thing that will provide any kind of relief to the species.

(While the politics of this video is beyond sophomoric, I'm under the assumption that we're meant to rate based on the quality of the animation and video itself, which is why I'm giving 4 stars. It was very well done and professionally executed, even if it did lack a lot of spice and character.)

You don't have to tax working people to finance this. Just tax capital. Taxes on the rich are now half of what they were in the 40s. We have income inequality at the same levels as just before the Great Depression.

Homeless people cost cities a lot of money. A few cities have started just giving them homes, and it saves taxpayers money because all of the associated costs with homelessness go away.

Studies also show that when people have money and security, people tend to get educated and birth rates drop.
