In my country, I can't not-pay taxes. They are deducted by my employer out of my pay. There is a large gap between employees in this situation and freelancers who get paid in cash and declare nothing. So basically, those who already pay, are paying for everybody that does not want to.
In 2023, some 60-ish billion euro has been evaded. No government has ever tried to rectify this gaping chasm as that would be a political suicide.
On top of this, should I pay even more to keep afloat those that do no not want to work?
Fuck that. Forget it.
- bananapub 2y agoyou're right, nothing good should happen in the future because your governments have failed to do a thing you want in the past.
- thefz 2y agoUBI being "good" is all in your mind for now, unfortunately. Where to take the money UBI needs from is a huge issue as well.
- bitnasty 2y agoThe argument for UBI is that there will, one day, not be nearly enough work available for the workforce. It’s not about people not wanting to work, but that they can’t.
