Rape and other crimes are not caused solely by oppression. Oppression can be a factor. Take the one Kennedy guy that raped the girl. Do you think he did this because his basic needs werent met? What about Mike Tyson? He raped women even when he was at the peak of his earning power. What about OJ? All of his basic needs were more then met, but he still killed his wife.

I gree with what you are saying, but eliminating poverty would still reduce a lot of crime, especially petty crime. It would improve social and health conditions as well. The saving as a result of these things alone would pay for the basic income.
I don't think anyone is saying rape and other crimes are caused "soley by oppression". Who said that?
Its time to defeat the powers that be - by adopting communisim!

have you not read anything i have said as long as you stay in school and receive good grades you will be able to pick from a catalog anything that you might want as long as it is within your means and once you are of age to work(16) or younger if they really want to but certain limitations will be in place as is now. anyways once they start working and going to school they will be able to choose a vehicle and ya know party or watev for entertainment and once you graduate high school ( which is specialized to fit the career path that you choose) you either have the choice of getting into your career path right away which will allow you to obtain a house and start on a family or you can continue your education in specialized universities and continue to live with the rents or live on campus once graduated from there you get into your career path get a house, start a family and never have to worry about job security or if you will be able to cover all the taxes and loans that you are forced to pay with the current system

and also just to clear the problem about lazy people those that do not decide to work or go to school will be given just the bare minimum just enough to keep them as healthy as any other person but that is it they will be allowed three hots and a cot nothing more nothing less until they decide they want to work
