  1. Lets try to imagine what this will lead to. for example, as i see it, it maybe will have such influence: 1) increased happines of poor people (as they will have more kpney) 2) decreased happines of rich people (as they will have to pay) 3) neutral position of middle class (as they may see it as a back up plan for themself, feeling more confident) 4) significantly lower level of crime (as most crime is done by poor people, keepong them happy should decrease crime level) 5) significantly lower level of working time (at least initially. why to work if you can rest? same effect as with unemployment benefits, which may cause actual increase of unemployment) 6) increase od all sorts of recreation services and art (people like to do such things if they have enough time) 7) immigration (even if migrant will not get such income, they will fill low level jobs opportunities, wich will be avoided by poor people with guaranteed income) 8) if migration problem will be avoided, then this may lead to automatization and wide use of machines for simple work 9) negative budget. i dont see how such region could pay for itself in short term. will middle class pay enough taxes to pay for all poor people who will instantly stop working? how long will it take for poor people to start doing something valuable for the region? 10) because of the position above middle class may want to somehow remove the poor people away. this may lead to a situation where you have to work not for money, but for some kind of "respect" to stay at such place. Or some other mechanism will be used, increasing the distance between poor people and mid class even more, thancurrently in europe. You could specify with wich point you agree or dont agree, or make your own point. Alternatively you can discus my total lack of any political knowledge
