Do not have to work for a living

Members of the Committee for Handling Proposals Oswald Seeger said: “This subsidy will allow people to no longer work for a living, who want to earn more money, work more.” He also believes that, in order to live must be the labor unfair, because some people do not work, some people engaged in the work that I did not like, some people overloaded with work, “When to make a living is no longer a basic need that everyone can engage in the things he wanted to” Sigma said.

Proposal needed a two-step – first of all, the proposal must be collecting the signatures of 100 000 Swiss, such a proposal to get the opportunity of a referendum; and then to fight through in the referendum.

Supporters argue that it will change today’s labor market more flexible, and can bring new impetus to economic activity, including many Swiss artists, physical therapists, movies, and social politicians, social celebrities.

Opponent

It will make people more lazy

“Unconditional subsidies listening is a good thing, and Spain,” World Journal “envy said:” If you hold a referendum, and who would not do it because? ”

However, this view seems to be too optimistic, not all Swiss thinks so. The evaluation of this report is very few.

Swiss Social Security and Public Health Committee Chairman Rossini said: “I can not imagine the implementation of this program and the proposed scheme did not tell us how to achieve this transformation.”

Some people believe that this program will reduce people’s enthusiasm for work. “It will make people more lazy, rather than action.”

Another commented: “Those who make money never steal other people’s money; and those expecting to get the lowest-income people will create a new poverty standards, and then let the other person to assist the culture of others rely on and lazy, not our responsibility. ”

Thus, some Swiss seem to not want to so early on such a generous life.

Money come from?

Multiple the money you have to increase taxes

According to 2009 data, the Swiss are currently about 616 million citizens, to give so many people giving away money, the government do?

From an economic point of view, Switzerland is indeed some economic foundation, it is the world’s richest, most economically developed and one of the highest standard of living, per capita GNP highest in the world, rich in tourism resources, the World Park’s reputation.

According to World Bank data, Switzerland 2008 average national income of $ 64,011, second only to Luxembourg and Norway, came in third in the world.

But then wealthy countries can not withstand such consumption. Therefore, the wool or out in the sheep’s back. Some economists have analyzed a substantial increase in the taxes, can not be 1/3 of the gross domestic product (GDP) allocated to the hands of the National People. To give all citizens subsidies need to spend 1/3 of the Swiss gross domestic product, or $ 200 000 000 000.

The next question is: tax increases to do so?

, Switzerland imposed a 20% personal income tax for each employee, this is not very high in European countries, the highest in Belgium, it is up to 54% of personal income tax levy to each employee; Finland – 46.6%.
