	So you agree with libertarian/anarchist anti-government views,
	but you still want yet another government scam? That doesn't
	seem to make much sense...

	It's naive to assume that any worker is going to give away the
	fruits of his labor unless threatened by government. That's
	why government uses lethal force to collect taxes, so they can
	fund a 'universal' 'basic' 'income', among other scams.

	I don't know and it's pretty much irrelevant. Actually, in a
	free market there would be no such stupid corporatist jokes
	like mcdonalds.

	Of course it you start with government premises you'll arrive
	at government conclusions...
