 Guaranteed minimum income - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A guaranteed minimum income is a proposed system of income redistribution that would give each citizen a certain sum of money independent of whether they work or not.
The current model of progressive income taxes used throughout the western world could be eliminated, but the system would still be progressive, since those at the lower end of the wage scale would pay less in taxes than they would receive in guaranteed income.
It is sometimes known as a "Basic income Guarantee (BIG)", "universal basic income", "citizen's income scheme", or just a basic income (the term "guaranteed annual income" is often used in the United States), but these systems also often include a method of paying for the income as well.

 Industry without Happiness: On the Guaranteed Minimum Income : LA IMC
The concept of an unconditional guaranteed minimum income for all would be misunderstood if one stylized it as “system-breaking” (7) or as a social-political drumbeat that immediately creates totally new conditions.
The guaranteed minimum income for all without conditions would be a part of the overture.
The minimum income would naturally be a state measure (and the hope of completely renouncing on state interventionism would be illusionary).

 A history of income guarantees
General income guarantees are favoured by those on the left of the political spectrum because they are seen to deliver equal benefits to all in equivalent financial need.
Henderson recognised that it would be the responsibility of governments to determine variables such as the income retention rate, the level of the guarantee, the number of categories retained and therefore the total amount provided to citizens as an income guarantee (Henderson 1975 Vol.
Low income families, lone parents and their dependent children, people older than the pension age requirements, blind pensioners, working people with children, orphans, ex-service personnel over the age of 60 years, and people in some other categories, provided they apply, meet residential requirements, and who meet asset and means limits are guaranteed an income.

 Ending Hunger, Homelessness, and Poverty - Articles - Citizen Policies Institute
Nixon's guaranteed income plan was passed by the House of Representatives-easily, with 2/3 of the vote.
The guaranteed income would be just enough money to cover basic needs, not enough to undermine people's incentive to work, earn, save, and invest.
Many did, however, in the 1960s and 70s, when Democrats and Republicans called for "guaranteed income" or a "negative income tax," cash payments to the poorest Americans.

The Guaranteed Minimum Income in the European Union Minimum income schemes in the European Union have two broad purposes: to fight against poverty and to enable social and economic integration of the poorest individuals.
The introduction of the GMI increases the disposable income, being the subsidy equal to S = GMI — g.wH, where GMI is the level of the minimum income and g is the rate of wage deductions (for example, in Portugal g=0.8, which means that only 80% of the wage is deducted to calculate the subsidy).

The introduction of a guaranteed minimum income for all would mean fundamental changes in socio-political practices.
On the contrary, the guarantee of a minimum income can also be used to 'close down' and to 'put out' people; it can be used to further the differences between the rich and the impoverished.
A guaranteed minimum income for all would mean:

Universal guaranteed public education is a very real form of, or approximation to, Universal Partial Basic Income, with the service in lieu of income being the governmentally (publicly) funded and provided public education for a few years.
Further, this guaranteed income could, and at least a portion of it would, be devoted to the development of societally profitable appropriate technology -- as opposed to personally profitable but societally detrimental technological development economically encouraged by many present socioeconomic system arrangements.
Such guaranteed income also solves the very real and almost always neglected problem of necessary income for all those who presently derive their personal income from warfare, its threat, preparation, or promotion, either directly or indirectly.

 Employment studies, Guaranteed Minimum Income and Labor Income
Based on this wage distribution, and supposing that the adult in the household with the highest potential earnings is the one employed, we find that 74% of welfare households would have an increase in disposable income if they were employed, relative to their disposable income in the absence of employment.
In this paper, we estimate the difference in long-run after-tax and transfer income from employment and from non-employment available to families in France that receive the Guaranteed Minimum Income (RMI).
The share of households that have an increase in disposable income from working goes from 74% to 89%, with the shares for single mothers still the lowest.
