RE: Universal Basic Income (UBI) Is Now Reality!

in #money8 years ago (edited)

I have an idea for a fair UBI. Every month of every year all people (not corporations) shall receive the amount of taxes paid in (and not returned) from the previous year on that month. Of course you could just abolish the income tax, but I like the notion of appealing to people who think that a UBI would actually work. It's far eaiser to get them to accept a UBI that they will ultimatly end up paying for, than it is to convince them that turning off welfare is actually a good thing as it puts one in control of the wealth that they create.

Sort:  

I think it's better to have a set amount guaranteed for planning purposes. We would have to locate a portion of taxes to roads, healthcare, education, etc...

I agree with you, yet their are other taxes outside of the income tax that either account for, or are supposed to account for the roads, healthcare, education and so on.
