Myth: Citizen income will make people lazy

Some people are worried that citizen income will make people lazy and stay away from work.

Here are the answers.

Lotto winner to go back to work as gardener despite £2.2m jackpot 

Millionaire lottery winner goes back to job at McDonald's... because he misses his workmates

"It just felt like I was in a dream": Hairdresser went back to cutting hair after scooping £4m lottery win

Winners at work

"It may seem crazy, but some lottery winners find they are happier working."

£7.7m lottery winners go back to work

Most Lotto Winners Would Go Back To Work

"For many Kiwis a million dollars is a huge sum of money, but it is not enough to quit work over. A recent survey carried out by NZ Lotteries revealed that if they won Lotto, 84% of people would keep working.

It’s an encouraging sign to see that so many people are happy in their work, as 50% would choose to keep working in the same job.

Eleven percent would take the opportunity to look for another job, while 22% would use the money to help them start out on another career path."

These are talking about million dollar winnings.

A citizen income will not make people lazy. It will prevent the poor from being exploited by a "free market". It will civilize employment.
