Comment on UK Green Party Policy: Unconditional “Citizens Income”

Comments

What does non-withdrawable mean?

'Nonwithdrawable' means that if you earn additional income then your Citizen's Income will not be withdrawn. This is different from means-tested benefits which are reduced if earnings rise.

Quoting from: http://www.citizensincome.org/FAQs.htm

I thought "non-withdrawable" meant some crazy credit system where you don't get to withdraw your money but can only trade it for living necessities or something.
