What seems harsh today becomes less harsh in the future - robots and AI basically feed off stars directly; something humans can never do. If 90% of people are not the owners of said robots (the best capital possible), how will they get what the robots produce?
Then convince people to buy robots, a.k.a. capital. Let the market work, the yield of capital will raise, so that having very little capital will be more and more interesting.
The transition to a society where all work comes from non-human capital, if it happens, will be smooth. So you must let price mechanisms and market adjust to it. Not an arbitrary system decided by bureaucrats.
If people don't want to buy capital, not even a single share that only costs a few dollars, I don't want to hear them complaining about how poor they are and how I should give them some shares that I did buy. And please do not tell me they don't have any money to spend for these stuff. Unless they are completely destitute, they do.
The only reason this isn't happening *today* is because of government interference (or stealing, as you put it). Charity doesn't stop death, and you have to decide if you're ok with that. It seems that most people are not.
I've just realized something about what you write. You keep talking about starving people, and yet this whole proposal is about some kind of a universal basic income. I mean it's for everyone, not just for homeless people, isnt it? You don't live in a country where homeless, starving people are at majority, do you?
Therefore, mentioning starving people to promote a basic income sounds pretty sketchy. I'm sorry to tell you that, but it can very well be understood this way:
« We should take to the rich in order to give to starving people. And I want my cut. »
Starvation really sounds like an excuse to get a free share of the cake.
That's why I will NOT answer your questions about starving people. We all have moral issues when we walk in the street and encounter a destitute human being. Assuming you are not completely poor, you do have too. You could give a homeless person half of your income to save him. I guess you do not and I do not ask you why. So please don't ask me why I don't like the idea of giving away to strangers a capital that I worked to earn.
