I don't know why pro-business conservatives don't support UBI.
- Destroys the inefficiencies of the welfare state if nobody has to qualify for certain things. Everyone just gets the same. (saves money, paperwork)
- Given to everyone equally (fair)
- Most people will spend every single penny of their UBI because they need the cash (helps the economy)
- Businesses like small shops will be able to survive with new customers
- Restaurants and other businesses who suffer in financial crisis will have more business as people aren't counting pennies and choosing whether to feed or clothe their kids.
- The poor will spend it all (goes back into economy), the middle class will use it for things like occasionally affording to go out to eat/theatre/cinema (goes into businesses)
It's excellent as most money goes back into the system (and is taxed!). It's great for the poor, for business and for efficiency of public spending.
Should be supported by left and right alike.
