If no one's working, then where the money came from?

@cloudi: Tehnically people would still be working, most would anyway. I believe, in nordic countries, specifically in Finland it's being tested for the moment to see if people would be even more motivated to work since they would no longer feel the burdain of working only to pay bills.

@Ratatouillesque: I think in one of the nordic countries they actually asked to get increased taxes so that everone can benefit better healthcare and education

@Ratatouillesque: hm. Then it's only gonna work if the people do appreciate the money given.
