    This is consistent with what they were finding up in Ontario with their basic income pilot before their leader decided - with zero evidence or consequences - to eliminate the program illegally against contract and ethics.

    People stepping out of poverty and able to give back to the community.

      It really makes sense. Everyone needs x money for food and absolute basic necessities. Take y% tax from the sallary to cover those up.

      If you get fired you still get a little bit of money. Or you propably more easily try to get a better work because you at least get some money if you are jobless for a while.
