I should think about this before answering. It is privately created but both demanded and sanctioned by the state. It is not even a 'public good' in this sense and yet required for taxes. So I would initially say "no".

I would agree with you on that. I am failing to see your point in comparing taxes to a distribution of common goods though. What exactly do you mean?

@shanequick It is related because they will probably call it Universal Basic Income. Sourced from the taxes collected. Or if it is about public and private sector childish propaganda. Both these sectors are sourcing money from the people. Other People's Money. Not their money

I take it you are no fan of the UBI proposal. I'm still unsure how I feel about it.

For me that is an understatement. UBI is a beast.

I am very much interested in why you think so. I havent heard much on the opposition to UBI.

It will be sourced from the taxes that the government has collected. Plus it will only be used to make an impression that the economy is doing well while the debt is 30 times more than the total printed dollars in existence.
