Re:Swiss to vote on 2,500 franc basic income for every adult by marvin on Saturday October 05, 2013 @05:37AM (#6500124)
Remains to be seen. That's why it's a great idea that a small country like Switzerland might test out this at scale, because then we can see if the vocal opponents who use your argument are right.

You have a legitimate point, but I think a lot of the most vocal opponents of a basic income have a political agenda beyond wanting a system which is good for everyone.

I'm not sure that a small country would yield applicable results, though.
