True enough.
It's just.... There is no real way this is going to work, or could work. The prognosis of needing a universal basic income to deal with the fallout of nearly perfect automation, both in terms of mental vocations (like engineering, software design, art, etc) and in terms of raw material processing/manufacture, is very much accepted by quite a few modern economists.
Throwing millions of people into the mix that would be effectively stateless, and without rights?... Into the same problem space as above? Yeah. Bad juju. Double bad juju if one claims to champion for a free market solution. (The free market has long since decided that automation is a more attractive target than employing people, because paying people is inefficient, and unfeeling robot labor is maximally efficient.)
Those are not really strawmen. Nor is pointing out that the GOP, and its conservative supporters, tend to favor "Free market" magic, over real science and real economics being given to them.
Strawmen are fabricated things intended to more readily discredit somebody, based on ideals they do not hold. When the major demographic really does hold those ideals, it is a whole lot less straw stuffed.
Does that mean that ZTG and Redking are in that mix? No. They were not the intended group I was describing anyway. The majority of people that would be for this kind of treatment for citizenship are going to be hardcore conservatives, not conservative leaning centrists. If you would note, I did indeed use the weasel words "most" and "typically" in the prior rhetoric.
