The Finnish government reportedly announced Tuesday that it will end the country's universal basic income program by year's end -- and appears to be taking on new measures to cut benefits to those who do not actively seek employment

snip~
"Critics say it would have required a 30 percent tax increase on an already over-taxed population to be viable."

Yeah, it's not too hard to convince the masses that they deserve more of the collective pie and they should not have to work so hard to get it. I guess that sounds better than you should keep what you earn.
