Our model of how #UBI would be paid for:
All in society are provided with a basic income equivalent to jobseeker’s allowance

Great to see the Basic Income for Artists getting attention. irishtimes.com/culture/art/2…
There is an inexorable logic that it should be universal, ie for all. #UBI

Myth: Universal Basic Income is a magnet for the idle. In reality, it's the catalyst for unleashed potential. Visualize a world where your next meal isn't your next worry. That world is one giant leap closer to solving the puzzles of poverty and unleashing collective brilliance.

Those on low pay (€20,000pa) will benefit by 20%, up to 65% for the very low paid (€10,000pa)
The well off will pay slightly more, 1.4% for those on €100,000 and 2.5% for those on €300,000

Former Conservative Senator Hugh Segal went on CBC News to remind us: "Most people in poverty have jobs. Many have multiple."
#BasicIncome is a raise for working Canadians. What are you waiting for, Ottawa? 🇨🇦 #cndpoli

Did you know that basic income isn't a new concept? It's been trialed around the world with promising success. Yet, critics remain skeptical despite the many positive impacts. The fear of change is common, but change is needed to create a more equitable and innovative society.
