My issue with basic income is - where does it actually just come from? How do you make it self-sustaining...and how do you transition in the first place?

[lilacsigil]

The Greens did a study in the UK and found that the current cost of paying and administering benefits (the aged pension, disability pension, unemployment, child payments etc.) pretty much equalled the cost of just giving everyone a basic income. So you get rid of that giant and cruel bureaucracy and use the money to pay everyone. If you want more money than that, you go to work. Taxation continues in the same way as it currently does.

Interesting.

Yeah, one reason I started favoring a generous basic income guarantee (or negative income tax) was that I wanted my artist friends to be able to work on art. The artists have a cushion when they aren't selling well, and their potential customers have more money to spend, so they may get more demand.

Maybe that's naive, I don't know.

Didn't Switzerland or some other country actually do a trial run of that system at some point?
