Comment on Finland gave two groups identical payments – one saw better mental health

Comments

What about the mental health of tax payers funding the scheme? Do you want your hard earned taxes to finance “lazy bums” who may or may not be looking for employement. If there are no conditions to receiving the grant, then where is the incentive to take “a” job that comes your way.

The incentive is to not be poor and have more than the bare minimum.

I, for one, am happy to pay taxes to fund this.

I've never understood the argument that people would choose to live like that. It doesn't make any sense.
