We (Europe) already do give people a certain amount per month. We give them healthcare, pensions and various other tax breaks depending on needs.
It is all very complicated.
The idea is to replace the complication with a simpler UBI in as close to a cost neutral manner as possible.
- koonsolo 6y agoUBI is basic income. What you describe will not bring working people basic housing and basic food. Pensions and unemployment incomes are only a small part of population, you will need to pay everyone. Taking money from healthcare and putting it in my pocket so I have to pay for it myself doesn't bring me much income you know.
- spugody 6y agoYes, it is clear that universal basic income means everyone gets it. If my post wasn't clear, it should be now. Thanks.
