Its only in my favor IF YOUR NOT HONEST in what your trying to tell the world and me in your views. Its as simple as that.
It does not presupose i believe you want government to take care of you. Its ASKING YOU if you would want that or want the other choice.
The word equality can be used in MANY, MANY contexts. In this case, universal income where everyone gets paid the same, thats called EQUAL INCOME. But the word equality can apply in other areas as well. Like equal opertunity. Equal strength, ect. But, who cares. In this situation, if you had to choose, what would you choose, universal equal income or work to gain more then that income would grant? Its a simple question that requires a simple answer.
And? So what if i agree with that choice? Im proud to admit choosing to work to gain more income then the universal one from government could give me. Why cant you answer the question and be equally proud of your answer?
No, its not a lose lose situation for you because if you answer honestly and thats your real answer, ok, fine, thats your answer. That dont make you lose. What makes you lose OR WIN is what happens AFTER that. How do you defend your choice being the better over the other. Thats where things get real interesting. But, you waste so much time getting to whats the most interesting.
Think about it like this: if someone gave me a "trick" question, it would NOT put me in that defensive state because i dont fear questions posed against my view because im confident of my view. Further, if i am wrong, ok, ill change my view.
No, its extremely dishonest AND INSECURE to not answer the question.
