Scott Santens Responds to Steve Forbes' UBI Explainer Video
Channel: Scott Santens
Date: 2020-08-24

This video is in response to the video titled "Universal Basic Income: Free Money For Everybody?" posted on August 13, 2020 where Steve Forbes gave a quick overview of the idea of UBI in the U.S. before warning everyone what a disastrous idea it is, because it would lead to the elimination of the work ethic, and would require huge tax increases that would destroy the American economy.

As someone who has been trying to better inform the UBI discussion since 2013, I felt the need to respond to help explain all the many ways Steve Forbes is wrong in this particular matter.
