Although the idea of a guaranteed basic income seems to me a very ill thought out one, I would love to see the results of such a program in a small country like Switzerland. So please Swiss people, be the guinea pigs for the rest of us and vote for your basic income.
Basic income requires a different financial model. Inflationary fiat money is a terrible idea, especially with banking controlling the creation process.<p>I like plan-b as a quite comprehensive model, but I would separate scientific funding as well.<p><a href="http://www.wissensmanufaktur.net/media/pdf/plan-b-english.pdf" rel="nofollow">http://www.wissensmanufaktur.net/media/pdf/plan-b-english.pd...</a>
One quote from the article made me go whaaat?<p>"Basic income is a centuries-old idea..."<p>Is this true? I think a citation is needed on that point. Has it been tried? Are they conflating BI with communism or some other very different idea?
