no its not as i have clearly showed .... your personal attack ( calling me a troll) is the hallmark of the intellectually impotent whose lack of ability to address the message leaves the individual only able to hurl schoolyard taunts at the messenger
What then do you suggest we do to negate the soaring levels of technical progress which continues to put more people out of work, the shrinking of the middle class and their wages, and globalization which seeks to further relocate American jobs and once again lower wages? Please don't say get rid of the minimum wage which would require even more hours to be paid the same sum when our workers are already struggling to pay their bills as it is. The rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer, hoarding by the rich has given us the predicament that we have found ourselves in today. Money at anyone one point in time is finite and it has to be this way if it wasn't it would be worthless. By allowing the rich to hoard wealth they do the rest of the people a disservice by stifling the flow of money. The basic income seeks to remove this blockage so that money can once again flow. What have we become when people who have never worked a day in their life are making decisions which criticize the working portion of society. Why have we marginalized the lives of people and inflated the value of corporations, stocks, and money.

technology does not put people out of work. Technology creates more jobs then it temporarily displaces. Government policies, taxation, and regulations put people out of work
the shrinking of the middle class and their wages,
Government-created problem through their agents attheir central bank that devaule the currency making everyone more poor except those who are poltically connected to the government ( the 1% )
Please don't say get rid of the minimum wage
The goal of the minimum wage is to outlaw low paying jobs for the unskilled and inexperienced. The law, simply, says: it is illegal, and therefore criminal, for anyone to hire anyone else below the level of X dollars an hour. This means, plainly and simply, that a large number of free and voluntary wage contracts are now outlawed and hence that there will be a large amount of unemployment. Remember that the minimum wage law provides no jobs; it only outlaws them; and outlawed jobs ( unemployment ) are the inevitable result.
Remember this is the first version. As history will show with the CBO,500k lost jobs will be a conservative estimate with the revisions going higher and higher
And as we have seen with every raise in the minimum wage .. jobs have disappeared
he rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer
the result of currency devaluation policies by government where the poor ( who have a few dollars ) loose the purchasing power of the dollars they had as the government floods more and more dollars ( whatever currency ) into the system
By allowing the rich to hoard wealth they do the rest of the people a disservice by stifling the flow of money.
It is their money to do with as they wish, it is not your money, no society' money and not government's money and any claim without the consent of the money's owner is theft and should be resisted at all costs.
The basic income
As it would be practiced in Finland would make people poorer as opposed to richer since the government will need to steal more from the people to fund and administrate the program than the money it would give back to the people. The easiest and more effective way to do this is to cut income taxes or consumption/sales taxes
