Could Finland's Universal Basic Income Ever Work In The U.S.?
Finland is reviewing a measure to give every citizen 800 euros per month. Could such a policy work in the States?
There's a movement in Finland that may soon approve a basic income for all citizens. The Finnish Social Insurance Institution (Kela) would pay everyone regardless of income level 800 euros (around $876) a month free of any government charge. That means that each citizen would be given that monthly payment even if they weren't working, or if they were already in another job. Any additional income earned would be taxed.
