Think of the Children! In this case, actually do. Poverty is often exhibited as a cycle. Poor parents, parents with disability, lack of education, or whatever reason someone is poor, will not be able to give it's children a fair opportunity. Chances are the cycle will repeat, the child will be poor too. With a basic reasonable minimum income, I believe that the next generation could turn out better. Hopefully, this could help steer a country away from the cycle of poverty, and benefit society as a whole. Obviously, you'd need to wait 30 years to see such benefit, and you might not care enough to want you wallet to pay for other people's future children and the society you leave behind, but if you do care, I think it's an argument to consider. Either way, I'm not gonna go ahead and proclaim it's a good idea or not, but I think it's a valid idea that demands thought, and experimentation. I hope Switzerland has the capacity to both pass this law, and retract it if it doesn't pan out as expected.
