Last month.we wrote about A11an sheahen,author of a book 0n the Basic Income Guarantee (BIG)——a plan to have the federal government guarantee a“basic income”to every adult U.S.citizen,ensuring that every one of them has at least enough money to live on-by handing it out,in cash,to every citzen,no questions asked.Such a law,supporters argue,would eliminate poverty at the stroke of a pen.It would simplify America’s social safety net,replacing it with a single blanket guarantee that everyone gets enough money to pay for their most basic needs.
Sound too good to be true?It may soon happen--in Switzerlan.As Reuters reports,last month the Swiss government received a petition(请愿书)signed by more than 100,000 citizens,calling for a nationwide voting to establish a basic income gurantee.Specifically,the proposal would pay every aduh citizen$2,800 per month,or about 42 percent of the average income per person in Switzerland.That’s even more generous than what BIG supporters here suggest.A U.S.BIG would work out to about$1,750 per month.
Critics naturally warn that giving people money regardless of whether they work or no.t may result in-spoiler alert!-wpeople choosing not to work.That’s one risk the Swiss will have to decide whether they want to take.But it may not be a huge risk they’re taking.Studies suggest that most people like to do something useful with their lives,and will continue to work even if they don’t need to.
Trial runs of BIG.1ike programs,conducted here in the U.S.in the 1960s and 1970s,showed a drop of only 1 percent in hours worked in at least one sample population-despite workers having that baseline income guaranteed whether they worked or not.
In general,working mothers were the group found most likely(upwards of 7 percent)to cut back on work after receiving a BIG grant.But even there,studies showed that most of the women spending less time at the office did so not because they were lazy,but because they wanted to work somewhere else——at home.raising their kids.
The basic income guarantee in Switzerland will________.
选项
A、be put into practice after a pilot plan
B、depend on people’s nationwide voting
C、benefit more citizens than that in the US
D、take up 42%of gross domestic production
答案
B
解析
文章既没有提到pilot plan,也没有说何时执行BIG,所以A项错误;由文中第二段第三句“上个月瑞士政府收到了由10万公民签名的请愿书,要求全国范围内投票决定是否建立基本生活保障计划”可以推断出B项正确;文章第二段第四、五句只说瑞士公民每月会收到2 800美元,而美国公民每月会收到1750美元,但并没有比较这两个国家有多少公民受益。故排除C;因为文章第二段第四句说2 800元是瑞士公民月均收入的42%,不是国内生产总值,故排除D。
