I personally recommend having it based on use value of a certain amount of minimum decent living space, on a certain amount - diversity and quality of food per person, and other basic rights such income would cover unconditionally. - I also wish to draw attention on the way such resources are being levied. For the moment, some basic income movements ( supported by industrialists ? ) propose a consumption tax based financing model, which may be in the interest of exporting industrialists ( as they also propose the abolition of other taxes, as to not have it included in the costs of their products before consumption ) How to suggestion : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YQzz654G-6g http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3tGL1n3x6XM // in German : http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bedingungsloses_Grundeinkommen -- P2P Foundation: http://p2pfoundation.net - http://blog.p2pfoundation.net Connect: http://p2pfoundation.ning.com; Discuss: http://lists.ourproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/p2p-foundation Updates: http://del.icio.us/mbauwens; http://friendfeed.com/mbauwens; http://twitter.com/mbauwens; http://www.facebook.com/mbauwens
