Its a sound idea in principle because it allows you to move from a society that needs to be in a non job for 40 hours a week, to a position where the majority of people are free to live and contribute as they want to. Yes there will be lots of people that will stay in bed but society doesn't need them anyway.
actually do the numbers stack up? 65million people x £100 p/w is £65 billion a week i think, is the welfare system that big? (number maybe closer to £40 billion when you take children into account but still, that's an awfully big number)Comment

Originally posted by filthy1980 View Posthmmmm i'm warming to this but is our job market automated enough yet to justify such a policy, if you close down 90% of the welfare departments overnight, that's an awful lot of people out of work, society would take a decade to adjust i think

Another leftie idea to attract more unwelcome, unchecked and unnecessary immigration to the land of freebies....
All this automation and so on was supposed to move us into a culture where people didn't have to work to live, the menial work would all be done by machines giving us more time, and people would work doing things they found interesting.Originally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment
