In quite a lot of Europe we have social support schemes that are supposed the same net effect. Except if you are unemployed for more than X. Or if you have more than a minimal wage on your bank account. Or.. Or.. Or.. All these exceptions are meant to cut social support from people who are not entitled to it. While in reality they usually hurt people who have no means to be really productive. Quite a lot of resources are spent on edge cases, which decreases efficiency and transparency. Thus making these schemes ineffective for what they were designed to do. I think that basic income is an awesome idea and should be at least tried so we can see if it works out in practice. Especially because we can afford it. |

You mean you can afford it. How do you know if I can afford it? By necessity, to implement this, you've got to take money from people and give it to other people.
Your assumption is that by rights any one in the category of those losing money, is making so much that they lack any moral claim to it.
