OK, I think we agree, and I may have misunderstood one of your statements. There is a small difference, though. The negative income tax advocated by Friedman was very similar to the EITC. Someone would have to work and file taxes in order to collect the credit. A guaranteed income would typically not require work.

But Friedman only advocated it in a tongue-and-cheek manner, and didn't see the negative income tax as preferable to no handout at all.
