Lim Jong-seok “Equal payment without conditions? It is neither just nor realistic”

On the 14th, former presidential secretary Lim Jong-seok said, “It is neither just nor realistic to make equal payments to all regardless of assets or income.”

“I believe that the basic income debate will greatly contribute to raising the level of solidarity in our society, just as the controversy over free meals served as an opportunity to expand the level of welfare,” said Im Jeon on Facebook.

“I think that not only the minimum wage, but also the wages of the middle class should be raised, and I think that basic income should be given to those who are unemployed or who do informal work below the minimum wage, even those who are not willing to work.” The question is how.”

Pope Francis, Microsoft founder Bill Gates, and Tesla CEO Elon Musk were discussed.

Im Jeon said, “The Pope is taking measures to guarantee a universal basic income for human dignity and for Christian values, for example, such as not being evaluated in the market or being pushed to a low income even though there are no jobs or making social contributions. I propose to review it.”

“To summarize Bill Gates’ arguments, we aim to tax the profits generated by artificial intelligence (AI) and robots to support the lives and consumption of lost workers.” The point of view that I think will be inevitable also contains concerns about a society where AI and robots lose their jobs as the number of things that AI and robots cannot do less and less.

He said, “In addition to the fact that many world-renowned celebrities form foundations and make huge donations, the extreme polarization and the fact that the rights and dignity of those who are not protected from the market according to the Fourth Industrial Revolution are shaken, and this situation jeopardizes the virtuous cycle of capitalism. He said.

He said, “I think that many people who agree with the claim of basic income agree with this problem consciousness. However, the arguments of those who speak to the basic income system in our society are very different.”

Jeon Lim pointed out that if all members of society are paid equally regardless of their assets, labor, and income, it is difficult to pay 200,000 won per month even if all welfare systems in Korea are integrated.

He added, “If the basic income system is maintained while maintaining the basic pension, basic living allowance, unemployment allowance, and child allowance, it will lead to a basic income without a’basic’ or a tabletop theory without financial measures.”

He said, “The concept of basic income is widely used,” he said. “The basic income is guaranteed to all people, and the payment equally regardless of assets or income is not only very different, but also collides given the practical means. I look forward to a healthy discussion.”

On the 9th, Gyeonggi-do Governor Lee Jae-myeong put a basic income as the core policy, and said, “Pope Francis supported basic income,” said Im Jeon.
