How to frame a UBI public policy for successfully passing a new law [View all]

Universal Basic Income (UBI) is a desirable public policy with many social benefits. However, UBI as a public policy is an anathema to conservative elements in government and society. Even though conservative elements would undoubtedly benefit from having a UBI public policy they are strongly against it. So when promoting UBI as a public policy, the importance of language and how the issue is being framed is paramount. Any bill promoting UBI will require finely crafted language or it will never get enough support to pass.

This post is broken down into four parts below:

Part I The Wrong Language to use for Promoting UBI

Part II The Right Language to use for Promoting UBI

Part III Counter Arguments to the Criticisms of UBI
