> Switzerland is considering giving every citizen $2,800 a month gratis, with no strings attached. > We have discussed this idea here from time to time. See: > http://www.slate.com/blogs/business_insider/2013/10/19/swiss_government_give away_2_800_a_month_for_all_citizens.html . . . Dogs and cats living together! More abominations from the article: > Recently, there has been a spate of popular initiatives designed to curb > inequality in the [Swiss] country. Earlier this year Swiss voters agreed to an > idea proposed by entrepreneur Thomas Minder that limited executive (in his words, > "fat cat") salaries of companies listed on the Swiss stock market. Next month, > voters will decide on the 1:12 Initiative, which aims to limit the salaries > of CEOs to 12 times the salary of their company's lowest paid employee. Communism, I tell you! Pure, unadulterated communism! Or maybe it's socialism. Yeah, that's what it is. No, wait! It's socialistic communism. Yeah that's the ticket. It's pure concentrated evil, whatever it is! We can't have it, and we won't have it! God fearing Americans would NEVER EVER propose such a preposterous and evil economic system: > Daniel Straub: A lot of people have proposed this idea. For example Thomas Paine in > the United States or also the famous psychologist Erich Fromm has written about it > in the sixties.
