Equal salary for everyone
In the United States, they decided to conduct a unique experiment on time to introduce unconditional basic income in one of the cities of the country. The Californian will act as the experimental settlement Auckland with a population of about three hundred ninety thousand people. The author of such a large-scale and expensive study is American venture fund “Y Combinator” with the assistance of local authorities.
Within five years, all interested residents of Auckland will receive the same content, which should confirm or disprove theoretical merits of unconditional basic income before current monetary system.
Venture Fund “Y Combinator” has long held a similar on the AML model, financing startups of novice entrepreneurs. IN exchange for seven percent of the shares a person receives funds for opening own business without any other obligations and conditions. The experience of Airbnb, Dropbox, Reddit and thousands of other companies has shown that a trustful approach does wonders.

Such economic and social diversity makes Auckland, by According to the authors of the project, an ideal place to test unconditional basic income. From participation in the study, you can easy to refuse. Obviously, those who have a monthly income is greater than the amount that will be issued.

Social Security Assumed reduce the number of crimes, because poor citizens do not now you have to steal and kill to have money for a life.
Equal Salary Project Criticized
If the pilot project shows the expected results, “Y Combinator “intends to expand its research to other US cities. However, not everyone believes in the success of this venture. Many American experts say that the main income will only work in a conscious society where crime and parasitism is not there initially. Critics are convinced that in disadvantaged areas such a social concept will lead to a surge in alcoholism and drug addiction, as lack of money – based reason why the so-called “scum of society” is not they are engaged in self-destruction continuously, that is, they drink alcohol and they do not use drugs as often as they would like.

And after all it is impossible to say with full certainty which of these approaches correct and which not.
