In 1797, Thomas Paine proposed a national fund to pay every person compensation for the natural inheritance lost when land became private property. That's basic income, two centuries before the term existed.

"To create a national fund, out of which there shall be paid to every person, when arrived at the age of twenty-one years, the sum of fifteen pounds sterling, as a compensation in part, for the loss of his or her natural inheritance, by the introduction of the system of landed property: And also, the sum of ten pounds per annum, during life, to every person now living, of the age of fifty years, and to all others as they shall arrive at that age." ~ Thomas Paine, Agrarian Justice 1797

You don't need a policy background to support basic income. Just find a post on our profile that says it for you, and repost.

Ireland's artist basic income returned €1.39 for every €1 spent. They made it permanent. South Korea just announced plans to follow. Now Scotland too.

Since 1979, worker productivity is up 93.7%. Typical worker pay is up only 32.7%. The gains kept flowing, they just stopped flowing to the people generating them. Would a guaranteed income floor give workers enough leverage to close that gap, or is it too structural for UBI alone to fix?

Basic income isn't a handout. It's a fair claim on the wealth we all keep generating together. What would change for you if that claim were guaranteed?

Getting paid at the time doesn't erase the value you created. Infrastructure and institutions compound across generations, each builds on what came before and passes forward more than they were paid for. That surplus is growth. Basic income is an equal and fair claim on that ongoing surplus.

Unconditional basic income, especially with how things have gone and continue to go, is like drawing a line in the sand for each other. It's saying my neighbors shouldn't have to prove why they get to survive. They just should.

Every child is born needing the same things: air, water, land, and people willing to keep them safe. None of it is earned, it's owed just by existing. Somewhere along the way, air stayed free, but land got fenced off, and safety became conditional, and even then, only certain work gets rewarded.

Some argue basic income will lead to socialism. But interest in socialism is already growing, and it comes from the economic conditions people live in now, not from a policy that hasn't passed. Basic income is simply a way to recognize the wealth we all help create.

Agreed. And beyond a living wage, we need a basic income too. Not everyone has a paycheck: caregivers, students, people between jobs. A floor under everyone means rent and groceries don't depend on having a job. It also gives workers the power to say no to poverty wages, which pushes pay up.

No one builds wealth alone. Workers, infrastructure, customers, and public systems all contribute. If every worker vanished tomorrow, no fortune would keep running. We're not just individuals competing for property, we're shareholders in the wealth we all help create together. So, UBI is your share.

When aid depends on proving you're sick enough, some learn to perform it, and administrators learn to doubt everyone. Honest people get caught in that cycle, forced to justify real pain. Basic income breaks the loop. No means test means no incentive to perform, and no reason to doubt. Just support.

Thank you for all the great responses, but this is going to land hard for some. Others, we hope, get a laugh. The biggest obstacle isn't funding or politics, it's us. A global network of advocates organizing, mobilizing, and taking action together. If we can't do that, nothing else matters.

No country pays untaxed universal cash by default. Refundable tax credits come closest, but they're conditional, not universal. A genuinely non-taxable UBI needs new legislation almost everywhere. Biggest hurdle beyond that: funding at scale, who administers it, or agreeing on the amount.

Basic income is our share of the capital we all helped build.

It's a social media "screenshot" of BIA's earlier post.
"This Labor Day, ask where the returns on labor actually go. Basic income isn't about rewarding work, it's about making sure everyone shares in the wealth we all help create."

What's the difference between negative income tax and cash? NIT runs through the tax system: apply, report income, wait for the return. It means-tests who falls under a poverty line. UBI pays everyone upfront and unconditionally. No filing, no waiting, no benefit cliff.

Basic income should be rooted in natural resource value and land value taxation to prevent people treating the basic income as unearned. It is income for everyone's share of the country's natural resources.

Land, most of us have no share in it, yet we all depend on it. That's not an accident, it's a denial of a stake in something that should belong to everyone, otherwise we're forced to rent and forced to produce. Basic income, funded from land and resource wealth, is one way of restoring that stake.

Capital moves upward by design. We all take part in it, but are denied the full merit of our returns. Basic income simply returns that capital to the bottom.
