That already does happen in some countries with the state financial aids to people. They just quit working and do whatever they want meanwhile the working people fund their lives with taxes.
- raxxorrax 6y agoThat is a bad example. Some people do indeed choose that way to live and there will be always people like that, but the overwhelming majority wants to hold a job. Social security will probably regress to a pretty low mean with open borders though. Within the EU are already problems with different levels of support.
- traveler01 6y agoWell it is an example but yeah I mainly agree with a universal basic income since a lot of jobs are being taken away. People should have their basic needs covered somehow.
- skocznymroczny 6y agoThat is true. The question is - can an economy sustain itself if most people do that? People living on aid are financed by working people, but that only works if most people are working. Similar to the retirement systems in which young people pay for old people's retirement money, which is under threat in developed countries because there are much fewer kids than in the past.
