A reader differs on motivations concerning opposition to UBI in Switzerland:
I’m not sure about money for children, either. But UBI is really just tax credits and other various social nets in another form. With the right math, it ought to mostly balance out and in general be more efficient to administer. So that’s who’s really opposed to it in government: all those functionaries who carry on the tax and existing social benefit programs. They might lose their jobs!
But presumably the functionaries implement government policy without influencing it; a naive notion, I know, but that’s how it should work and perhaps even does work.
