Would an Unconditional but Taxable Basic Minimum Income lead to dads being with their kids?

DennisTate · Feb 26, 2024

I got the idea for this discussion over here in this other thread.

Would an Unconditional but Taxable Basic Minimum Income lead to a higher percentage of father's living with their children at least until those kids graduate high school?

I personally do believe that the numbers could be shocking... because I am divorced twice and my two ex-wives complained about money continually...... I tended to turn down jobs that required me to work on the Jewish weekly or annual Sabbaths.... so I ended up choosing lower paying jobs that allowed me more freedom to do my own schedule.

I am taking this kind of seriously and I am seeing the opportunity for another controversial and rather interesting poll and discussion.......
.... in a way I believe that this topic to at least some degree overlaps with this other question..... and poll.....

Would a Basic Minimum Income of 777 dollars that is Unconditional but Taxable... as advocated by Economist Milton Friedman.... lead to more dads being able to live with their kids????

Would a Basic Minimum Income dramatically reduce abortions?
