Swiss to vote on basic income benefit

What is interesting is the poverty level for two people and two kids is 4800, however this would provide 6,500. The thing here with the median salary of someone in the communications sector only being 8500 Gross you could argue a family of four, who only a single person works, would almost be as well off with no one working.

That amount gross? You're still looking at a difference that would be equivalent to more than rent and utilities for a month even after taxes, so I think the margin for almost would be pretty wide there.
