Consider a minimum guaranteed income to stimulate the economy & promote a better standard of living. (livableincome.org)

Created by S.W. on June 17, 2014

A proposition to guarantee each family unit or citizen a guaranteed, livable, minimum income. A canadian social experiment called Mincome found that given such an income, people continued to work about as much as they did before. Only new mothers and teenagers worked substantially less hours.

People now had the money to buy things they didn't before. That money stimulates the economy and flows -back- to the government by way of taxes on goods and income taxes. The disabled wouldn't have to rely as much on govt. aid. More adults pursued higher education. Those who continued to work reported more job flexibility. People wouldn't have to work two or three jobs to get by, thus freeing up jobs.
