Swiss government proposes paying everyone £1,700 a month whether they work or not in a bid to end poverty… but insists most people will still want to get a job
- Swiss residents to vote on referendum to guarantee basic monthly income
- It would be first country in the world to introduce unconditional income
- Radical plan was proposed by group of intellectuals
WHY WOULD ANYONE UNHAPPY IN THEIR JOB THAT PAYS 1,700 A MONTH CONTINUE WORKING?
Well, there goes the Army knives…
When you start down the path of the socialism dark side then forever, it will dominate your destiny.
Hard to believe with so many shining examples of utter failure from socialism, any would even propose something like this.
What ought to happen is the proposers should be immediately stripped of their citizenship and kicked out. Of course, that what ought to happen here as well. Dare to dream…
Cue the hordes of muslim ‘refugees’
From the same camp that tried to get a referendum passed for a minimum wage?

Well, I don’t know. That equals USD$1,666/month. This could pay for my apartment loan and maintenance, but not a month’s worth of groceries. I would still have to work.
Proposed by intellectuals. That is generally code for “bad idea.”
They would be renamed and released as scimitar knives. Their only utility then would be against infidels.
There goes my
Pizzoccheri
Lindt-Sprüngli chocolate
Appenzeller cheese
At least their wine sucks.
In the Swiss system, any proposition that gets a few hundred thousand signatures on a petition has to be then be voted on by the entire populace. You may recall that a few years ago there was a proposal to end mandatory military service, it was voted down by a wide margin by the Swiss.
Who will “dig ditches” when they pass a law like this? Socialism creates such dysfunctional societies. This is why western nations have to import hordes of destitute immigrants to do less desirable jobs. Natives know that it’s a better deal to just live off the government.
Can you possibly imagine an imbecile stupider than an “intellectual” who thinks he can end poverty by giving bums other people’s money?
That’s it. I’m going to fulfill my life’s ambition as a yodeler and move to Switzerland.
You look like a yodeler!
We look like a chalk outline at a crime scene.
We should print up and pass around some flyers about this big free-shit-for-every-lazy-bastard giveaway. Maybe America’s progtards can go there and experience the utopia with them.
Then, we can maybe shut down the borders before the money runs out, so they can’t come back and finish running this country into the ground.
The only thing it will do for sure is cause the price of drugs and alcohol to skyrocket.
