Title: Why a Universal Basic Income Will Not Solve Poverty
*Author:* Eduardo Porter
*Source:* NY Times
*Date:* May 30, 2016
*Summary:* In the United States, the idea has the support of thinkers on the left like Andrew Stern, former head of the Service Employees International Union. Some thinkers on the right, too, have managed to overcome their general distaste for government welfare to support the idea. Later this month, Charles Murray of the American Enterprise Institute will publish an updated version of his plan to replace welfare as we know it with a dollop of $10,000 in after-tax income for every American above the age of 21.
