UBI Works - Canada's advocate for Basic Income

For everyone out there who asks: "But who is going to pay for UBI?"

#UBIWorks in Canada has done the maths and it shows exactly who is going to pay: not you!

It will be large corporations, the wealthiest of the wealthy and financial institutions.

Go Canada! 🥳

How to Pay for Basic Income — Cheaper Than Poverty

We can fund basic income with just 3% of all government spending, with no new taxes on working Canadians. While there are many ways to finance it, we propose to do so with fewer tax breaks for large companies, fewer subsidies for the wealthiest, and contributions from the financial sector.

This CBC The National piece is one of the best reports on #UniversalBasicIncome I have ever seen. It's about the 3yr pilot project in Ontario that was cancelled after just 1 year when Doug Ford came to power. This is 10 minutes you need to dedicate. But even if you can only make it through the first 60 seconds, please do!
(You can follow @floydmarinescu ‘s Twitter, he is interviewed. The main US #UBI promoter is @scottsantens)

Doing my taxes yesterday and this came up. Ridiculously complicated, it creates a barrier to those really in need.

Surely we can do better. #UBIWorks #universalbasicincome #guaranteedincome

#UniversalBasicIncome in #Alberta: Is now the time?

#CERB has a lot in common with the concept of Universal Basic Income...though they’re different from each other, the main idea is the same: a government puts a set amount of money into the pockets of citizens, monthly or annually. The goal is to eliminate poverty, grow the middle class, and boost the economy, according to #UBIWorks, a group that advocates for the policy.
