UBI IS A DANGEROUS CONCEPT

I have written in the past about the dangerous and hopelessly idealistic suggestion that governments provide a universal basic income (“UBI”) to all their citizens.  
When I have written about UBI before I have talked mostly about the fact that it is hopelessly idealistic.  I don’t want that to obscure my much more fundamental objection that the concept of UBI is profoundly dangerous.  If you think that’s a way to improve societal well being, I suggest that you think again.
