Do you support a universal basic income program?
No, this will encourage people not to work and harm economic growth
From a leftist point of view, UBI will discourage people from working and lead corporations to invest more in automated labor due to the potential loss of labor.

There is no evidence that supports this idea that UBI makes people stop working. In fact, multiple studies have shown that very few people actually chose to stop working under a UBI, with the overwhelming majority of those people being either students who quit their jobs to focus on schooling and/or mothers who quit their jobs to focus on childcare. Even better, UBI allowed people the opportunity to leave their low-wage jobs in favor of higher-paying jobs/positions, since they were not as desperate relying on minimal wages to survive. The only real Leftist position against a UBI is that it doesn't go far enough, and is only a band-aid solution to the inherent problems of capitalism.
