The Scottish DailyMail has an article which seems designed to ‘frighten the horses,’ and voters of the constituents of that particular paper. Some appear not to be wholly in favour of ‘free’ money saying ‘some may "milk the system", "that it could reduce motivation to work", and give "freedom to make bad choices".
Perhaps anyone enamoured of the capitalist system might find it more profitable, and fulfilling, to learn about the only viable alternative.
The Socialist Party of Great Britain has branches in Scotland (contact details available from https://www.worldsocialism.org/spgb/contact/ )
“A Scottish Government spokesman told the Mail on Sunday: "Everyone in Scotland deserves to live healthy, financially secure, fulfilling lives and a Minimum Income Guarantee is an important step towards that."
A SPBG spokesperson commented, everyone in the world deserves to live healthy, secure, fulfilling lives and Socialism is the way to achieve that goal.
There isn’t a ‘communism lite.’ If there isn’t a money-free, class-free, produce for use not profit society, then there’s not socialism/communism.
“Taxpayers in Scotland face footing the bill for an SNP benefits free-for-all which could see every adult in Scotland paid at least £25,000 a year.
Under the plans for a Minimum Income Guarantee (MIG), billions of pounds would be handed to the jobless and lower earners to ensure everyone has a "dignified" quality of life.
Supporters of the proposal – dubbed 'Communism Lite' – say it would help fight poverty and tackle health inequalities and they are clear that it should be funded by massively raising taxes on medium and high earners.”
