Finland is giving 2,000 citizens a guaranteed income

http://money.cnn.com/2017/01/02/news/economy/finland-universal-basic-income/index.html?iid=hp-toplead-intl

In Japan, guaranteed income for people who don't have ability to work or can't find job due to some reasons is often criticized. It's because some workers are paid less than guaranteed income ,and post on the Internet by recipients indicates how lavish life they spend. For example, they complains about money shortage, because they have to eat rip off lunch and pay for luxurious cars.
It's sure that some recipients are paid illegally, but there are still the poor who truly needs the income.

Finnish government has to think about criticism like it before expanding guaranteed income system.
