Well done, Norway! If only the rest of the world would follow with the same pace. At least rich countries like Denmark, Switzerland etc

Thanks! Indeed it's impressive.

Do you have a link to the comparison?

There's no way your effective rate goes from 17% to 55%. Did you include the extra 3000/month you'll be getting?

Current social security spending gives us $9k per household. Cutting military spending in half (utopian, but so is UBI): $3200 per hh. Raising income tax to a simple flat 50% rate gives us extra 0.7 trillion or $7k per hh. Single payer would give us about $1k per hh plus free healthcare for everyone. No more insurance payments.

That is already about $21k per year per household.

If we take all the money the Netherlands spends on social security, welfare, pensions, etc, and add extra money from increased taxes (make it flat 50-60%), every single household can have a UBI of about 42 000 euros/year.

The numbers are similar for other western economies.
