If they had that sort of lobbying power I doubt we'd see UBI to begin with. Regardless, "evil people might thwart it!" Is not a very good reason not to try to do good things.

    It wasn't my intention to suggest that we shouldn't try it.

    I was merely (and cynically) pointing out the forces who will be pushing against the efforts to do some good for society.
