Universal Basic Income
Universal Basic Income
A Universal Basic Income is a basic income for t whole society as a whole. This idea is based
on that of Adam Smith's Tory of "free markets", that a market is one in which everyone
benefits from t economic activities, and everyone has enough to survive if wants. If want to
pay for a person's living expenses, can pay him t cost of living, but also have t choice to pay
people towards t goal of a single society, which are responsible. For example, a person might
want to make his living at something, such as selling some property or buying something
else, and is not able to do this without some people willing to invest in t product of his labour
In t case of a universal basic income this contribution is t only one that can be given. So in
Tory, anyone can contribute to his or r owns basic needs, and anyone gets t chance to receive
good.
T idea behind it is to make everyone equally responsible to t society. That is, a basic income
could not be provided simply by someone paying for everyone else's living
In that case t common man could take home t benefits of his labour from his neighbours, but
could only get t benefits from his neighbours if is able to invest his labour towards a
common good. T idea behind it is to provide a basic income with an extra incentive for
everyone to work more. T idea behind it is to create a society of people who will work tiger
Believe in Universal Basic Income, but this doesn't mean t government provides everything
to everyone
