No, this will encourage people not to work and harm economic growth

Many Republicans would agree with this statement, as they believe that a universal basic income program would encourage people not to work and harm economic growth. They argue that such a program would create dependency on the government and disincentivize work, which goes against their core beliefs of limited government intervention and individual responsibility. For example, Republican politicians like Ted Cruz and Rand Paul have spoken out against universal basic income proposals for these reasons.
