I haven't looked into the details of this referendum but the way it's normally pitched is that this will replace all the other welfare.. in that those old systems will go away.
Does the current proposal add without removing?
- mac01021 11y agoEven if it doesn't, it must add much more than it removes.

- caseysoftware 11y agoRe: bureaucracy If it was truly universal - no exceptions, no means-testing, etc - then the "bureaucracy" around this one is negligible. While I'm intrigued by a Basic Income approach, I don't think the bureaucracies would be willing to give up the power that they have to shape and influence people and society as a whole. It is exceptionally rare in human history that a government has given up power. I think that is what will kill most of these Basic Income proposals, not even considering the math of taxes.
