    Actually that's pretty much exactly what Friedman proposed, a free ride. The only difference was that he called it a "negative tax" instead of a guaranteed income. So his idea was that if you had no income you would get a payment to live on, and then the more money you made, the less you would get.

    I kind of like the guaranteed income version better because it's simpler, and it would remove the stigma of people being on welfare.
