It is not only a morally right thing to do, but also progressive for society to ensure everyone is looked after for the essentials for survival, this has never been demonstrated more since 2008 onwards, plus as technology advances and jobs becoming automated it is imperative we act now, before it becomes a problem that will impact everyone regardless of status.
