UNIVERSAL BASIC INCOME DEBATE.

FINLAND WILL END ITS EXPERIMENT

IN FREE MONEY.

SINCE EARLY LAST YEAR THE FINS

HAVE BEEN HANDING OUT CASH TO

UNEMPLOYED PEOPLE, $680 A MONTH,

NO STRINGS ATTACHED.

DO WHAT YOU LIKE WITH IT.

START A BUSINESS.

TAKE A CLASS.

JUST QUIT WORRYING ABOUT MONEY.

THAT DIDN'T GO DOWN WELL WITH

VOTERS OVER THERE.

THEY DIDN'T LIKE THE IDEA.

FINLAND WILL CUT OFF THE FREE

FLOW OF MONEY.

GOOD.

UNFORTUNATELY THIS IS NOT THE

END OF THE EXPERIMENT.

I SAY UNFORTUNATELY, YOU WANT

MONEY, YOU BETTER GET OUT THERE

TO WORK FOR IT.

IN STOCKTON, CALIFORNIA, A PILOT

PROGRAM DELIVERS $500 A MONTH TO

SOME POOR PEOPLE.

DO WHAT YOU LIKE WITH IT.

OAKLAND, CALIFORNIA, IS SETTING

UP A SIMILAR EXPERIMENT.

ONTARIO, CANADA, IS GIVING

HUNDREDS MUCH DOLLARS A MONTH TO

4,000 PEOPLE.

CANDIDATE, DEMOCRAT ANDREW YANG,

WHO WANTS TO BY EVERY AMERICAN

ADULT $1000 A MONTH.

WE'RE TOLD THAT THESE PROGRAMS

RELIEF POVERTY, ALLOW PEOPLE TO

SPEND MORE TIME WITH THEIR

CHILDREN, LET THEM START

BUSINESSES OR JUST ENJOY LIFE,

FREE OF THE WICKED PURSUIT OF

MONEY.

FINE.

BUT NOT ON MY DIME.

DON'T TAKE MONEY OFF ME.

I WORK AND I THINK YOU SHOULD

TOO.

I DON'T CARE IF YOU DON'T MAKE

AS MUCH AS YOU THINK YOU SHOULD

MAKE.

GET OUT THERE AND AT LEAST MAKE

THE EFFORT TO SUPPORT YOURSELF.

BACK TO FINLAND.

THEY HAVE BEEN HANDING OUT MONEY

FOR OVER A YEAR.

NOW THEY'RE GOING TO STUDY WHAT

PEOPLE DID WIT.

BUT THEY WON'T RELEASE THE

FINDINGS UNTIL NEXT YEAR.

OH, HOW CONVENIENT.

THE PROFESSOR OF SOCIAL POLICY

AT THE UNIVERSITY OF HELSINKI

SAYS, THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH

YOUNG PEOPLE.

REPORTS OF THOSE GUYS NOT

SEEKING WORK.

OH.

IN OTHER WORDS, THE TAXPAYERS OF

FINLAND HAVE PROBABLY BEEN

FUNDING COUCH POTATOES.

THE GOOD NEWS, THAT THEY STOPPED
