Interesting, I wonder how that would affect foreigners wanting to work in Swiss. If this bill were to pass it would be funded by either increasing taxes or lowering welfare On top of that prices would probably increase at least some. But foreigners would only get the negative effects of this change and not the basic income which would mean they'll probably require more pay to compensate for the loss.

I'm guessing that would affect companies who relies on foreign expertise.

So apparently everybody loves this highly nationalist, some might even say racist bill.

That's really baiting. What is racist about this bill? I know the entire concept of an "country" or a "citizen" of some country is deeply disgusting to some people, but those are usually kind of weirdos. You can't seriously hold any one as really being a racist because they recognize such things.

I wouldn't call it racist, but the receivers of these benefits are closely correlated to their origin and race -- Switzerland is not famous for accepting immigrants to their country.

I just want to point out the inherent contradiction of the claims

(a) The system is unlikely to be exploited because humans innately want to work and will be productive in this system.

(b) The benefits are only distributed among a certain group of people, only those who are natives to this country in particular. The only reason for this, I imagine, is the fear of the system being exploited.

The only conclusion I can draw from this is that those who like this concept think that only native Swiss people will not exploit the system.

You're right to call me a weirdo though.
