I would like to point out that several EU countries have minimal basic income.  It translates as &#x27;minimal liveable income&#x27; and is paid to people who have no other income. It is about 60 euro&#x2F;month in Czech republic. In Germany it is  about 300 euro&#x2F;month, but can easily go up to 1000 euro&#x2F;month with all extras.<p>Problem is that one has to prove he does not have any other income. That could be problem for some people, for example illegal foreigners. Or divorced fathers who have income on paper, but everything gets confiscated for alimony.
