    Any company that intentionally underpays their employees so that they require govt assistance to live should be billed the full cost of all assistance that employee receives.

      I think that minimum wage being a livable salary, is less complicated.

          I like Scott Galloway’s take: SPEAK THEIR LANGUAGE!

          Call UBI a negative tax and Republican voters will listen.
