For a free and self-determined life
Dignity & Freedom
Unconditional Basic Income (UBI)
A foundation for all citizens. No more existential anxiety. Imagine a society where every person has the freedom to shape their life self-determinedly. It is a monthly amount that every citizen is entitled to, regardless of their employment situation or wealth.
Adults
1.000€Monthly. Unconditional.
For every citizen over 18 years old with a permanent residence in Germany.
Children & Youth
300€Monthly. Investment in the future.
For every citizen under 18 years old. Payment to guardians to cover education & upbringing.
What does the basic income bring?
- Existential security: The UBI creates a solid foundation that secures the basic needs of all citizens. No one has to fear poverty anymore.
- Strengthening families: The UBI for children financially eases families and allows them to provide a better future for their children.
- Freedom and self-determination: Freedom to further education, start a business, engage socially or in art.
- Justice: The UBI brings more justice to society, as it gives everyone equal opportunities.
Conditions
- Residence: Eligibility for all citizens with a permanent residence in Germany. It is tied to participation in social life.
Travel & Emigration
- Travel: When traveling abroad, the basic income will continue for a maximum of 2 years.
- Emigration: When emigrating, the basic income will continue for 6 months.
Basic pension: Recognition for a life of work
Those who have worked all their lives deserve respect.
VisionDeutschland says: Enough with old-age poverty! We are introducing a basic pension that provides a solid foundation for anyone who has worked at least 35 years.
How the basic pension works:
- 1.000 Euro minimum pension: For every citizen with at least 35 years of work experience.
- Annual increase: +3.69% for each additional year beyond 35 years. Those who work longer benefit massively.
- Self-employed: We close the gap. Self-employed people also receive the fixed basic pension of 1.000 Euro per month from retirement age.
Why we are introducing it:
- Recognition & Dignity: Respect for the life achievements of those who built Germany.
- Flexible Entry: Self-determined retirement time without existential fear.
- Pension Equalization: Alignment of East/West for nationwide equal living conditions.
- No Cuts: Strengthening through high employment rates instead of reductions.
Financing? Feasible.
The current social system costs almost 1 trillion euros annually. By bundling services, cutting huge administrative apparatuses, and eliminating unnecessary overseas expenses, the BGE is mathematically possible.
Basis of the calculation (1,000€ BGE)
Comparison of social expenditures
Germany spends about 1 trillion euros annually on social benefits (incl. pensions, unemployment benefits, child benefits, etc.).
Funding sources:
- Tax savings: Elimination of overseas expenses and unnecessary subsidies.
- Tax reform: Fairer design and closing loopholes.
- Administrative savings: Reduction of job centers and pension offices.
- New models: Examination of financial transaction or robot taxes.
Economic Effects:
- Stimulation of consumption through direct purchasing power enhancement.
- Minimization of bureaucratic effort.
- Analysis of labor market impacts to ensure motivation.
The Implementation Roadmap
- Expert Commission: Appointment for detailed financial planning and review of new models.
- Legislation: Drafting of legal foundations and start of the parliamentary process.
- Public Dialogue: Involving citizens in the discussion for broad acceptance.
- Real Test: Launch of a pilot project with a limited number of participants for behavioral analysis.
- Evaluation: Scientific assessment of the impacts on the labor market and motivation.
- Model Adjustment: Optimization based on the results of the pilot test.
- Rollout: Gradual introduction of the basic income for all citizens over 18 years old.
- Monitoring: Continuous support and evaluation of societal effects.
- Sicherung: Ensuring the long-term financial sustainability.
Conclusion
Rein rechnerisch wäre ein Grundeinkommen von 1.000 Euro möglich, da die heutigen Sozialausgaben bereits nahezu die erforderlichen Mittel bereitstellen. Das BGE ist eine Investition in eine freiere, gerechterere und menschlichere Welt.
