@BasicIncomeSA The UBI attached to everyone's individual fiscal ID, will smoothly redistribute the economy
Extending the R350. basic income grant as a taxable #basicincomegrant to all South Africans will cost R14 billion 6% of our budget. It can be done
Time to pay a #basicincomegrant to all residents regardless of means. Will, enhance social cohesion, relieve employers, stimulate the economy, allow partners to leave toxic relationships, encourage entrepreneurship
Its time to remove the @OfficialSASSA means test for the old age grant paid to people over 75, save costs, enhance social cohesion. The grant would be taxable of course
dailyinvestor.com/finance/81618/… We should in the interests of social cohesion be seeking to implement a taxable UNIVERSAL basic income grant, paid to all residents without a means test.
moneyweb.co.za/news-fast-news… Lets hope, and hope that it is a universal @BasicIncomeSA
The tweets in this thread have links to six of my favorite talks and videos. 1/6. Someone asked for my "Favorite argument for UBI" in less than 30 seconds. This is what I said. youtu.be/biIdOziJEGM?t=3
This is the same rhetoric that @EFFSouthAfrica uses. In the unlikely event that USA does take over those countries, private citizens will not loose their ownership of land. Land ownership is a pivotal route to economic empowerment

We should be discussing a universal taxable basic income grant to, over time, replace all other grants
Thank goodness it was renamed in time

Drop the minimum wage and implement a universal basic income grant with no means test. Minimum wage is a tax on small business and a deterrent to entrepreneurship

The BIG should be taxable and UNIVERSAL, ie paid to every legal resident of South Africa. It should ultimately replace all other grants, which would be a source of some of its funding.
It needs to be an unconditional taxable universal basic income grant paid to ALL legal residents - #socialcohesion

It could be partially funded by reducing politicians' income to a fixed multiple of per capita GDP.

#basicincome is the real world execution of passing 'go' in monopoly. No matter how badly one plays there is always an income
dailyinvestor.com/south-africa/4… Poltiking aside....The grant should be offered as a UNIVERSAL taxable basic income grant offered to ALL South Africans/permanent residents regardless of employment/income status and it should be followed by a phasing out of ALL other grants
All Social grants should be phased out in favour of a Universal Basic income grant
Just by redeploying, not reducing existing grants will provide a universal basic income grant
