My thoughts on a Universal Income.

in teamaustralia •  7 years ago 

I wrote about the introduction of a universal income some months ago on facebook. What I suggested was that everyone above the age of 18 gets let's say $400 per week. When that person is working they earn $700 per week. The universal income gets deducted from their wage. Their take-home wage will be $300 although they will still be getting the original $400 as their universal income.

In the Northern Territory and some other locations where there is a high number of people on some sort of benefit, the Commonwealth pays a percentage of their benefit into a basic card--for food etc. If the individual is unable to manage their money it could be up to 100% on the basic card.

I do believe in the Utopian society. There will always be the people who have the drive to succeed. If we do not start expressing where we would like to be over time, the system will fall into disarray. There has been a great deal of thought into the Venus Project.
