Swiss to vote, for the basic income for all
Swiss come today to the polls to decide on the introduction of a basic income for everyone, workers and unemployed, a unique project in the world that causes heated debate in a country where labor value priced. However, according to recent polls, the proposal submitted by non-partisan group is unlikely to vote in favor.
Not surprising when one remembers that in 2012, the Swiss had already refused to increase the holiday entitlement of workers from four to six weeks, fearing a loss of competitiveness. The popular initiative "for an unconditional basic income" (RBI) proposes the payment of benefits every month to all Swiss and foreigners living in the country, whether they work or not.
The amount of income that remains to be determined, but the group had the initiative proposes to provide 2,500 Swiss francs (2,260 euros) per adult -very small amount to live in Switzerland; and 650 Swiss francs for each minor. This would require an additional budget of around 25 billion Swiss francs (22.6 billion. Euros) per year, to be financed by new taxes.
