No, I can't justify it; however, with a UBI, the desperately poor would have more money than they do today without a UBI.
There are feasibility issues with economic socialism, such as the economic calculation problem.
Would the UBI be in addition to or in lieu of aid to the poor already in place?
Would you put an upper income limit on the UBI?
