INCOME
What is the UBI?
- every human being gets a certain amount of money every month
- they do not need to give anything in return
- the amount is so high, that you can afford living off of it
history
- Spartas constitution guaranteed every citizen the essential goods
- Thomas Morus had the idea in Utopia to fight criminality
- the concept we know now was developed by Joseph Charlier
Why do we need it?
- living a dignified life is a fundamental right
- for that you need: food and water, clothing, a place to life as well as the participation in the political and cultural happenings in our society
- if that is not the case, our fundamental rights are worthless
emancipation
- Germany needs kids
- people cannot afford them because 219€ child benefit is not enough
-> especially if you have costs for childcare
- if one partner takes care for the child, they are dependent on the other partner
- can lead to people getting a divorce later on, because their existence depends on their partner
equal opportunities
- 77% of children with academic parents also study
- only 23% of children with non academic parents study
- not everyone can afford to study
- the unconditional basic income would give children the chance to do with their lives what they want
How is it affordable?
- 1000€ for adults
- 500€ for children
- financed by the consumption or sales tax
- many social services like Bafög or Arbeitslosengeld would be gone
- sales taxes would be higher
- rich people consume more -> they pay more taxes -> money redistributes
Would anyone still work?
- work is more than a livelihood for most people in Germany
- over 90% ensure they would continue working
- half of them thinks the others would not (Dunning Kruger effect)
- usefulness of jobs would be perceived better, e.g. nurses would be paid better
- UBI is only there to build a base for existance
