There is a key component missing from this proposal: what benefits will be cut? As written in the article: "this national basic income would replace all other benefit payments"
There are many cases where unequal benefits payments are considered politically, morally and ethically acceptable by the majority of society. E.g. the blind, the handicapped, war veterans, orphans, victims of crime, volunteers...
For example in the US, the blind may deduct expenses from their income before taxes that others may not. This is an unequal benefit that we collectively accept.
In Finland's proposal, what will happen to benefits for special cases?
