Most people benefit about the same amount. Everyone deserves the good life. Some work more adequately and last a lifetime. Others work intensively and burn themselves out. Some come up with ideas, write articles and start businesses. Some are working on the floor. Society needs us all. Each of us deserves an income and a home whose monthly cost leaves money for more than just life's necessities. Everyone deserves a decent pension even if they haven't managed to work full-time at a well-paid job their entire working life.
The good life for all can also be a way to ward off political extremism, gang crime and terrorism.

Those who were sick, unemployed or came here as refugees at a late age have not done this for the pleasure of being a "burden". And we all benefit as consumers. Poor consumers cannot consume and without consumption no corporate profits. So not only affordable housing and salaries at a decent level are needed. We must also have a livable pension. This applies even if you were not able to be well paid full-time from the age of 18-65.
In this article have I written about how we can afford pensions for our elderly without raising taxes significantly above 2006 levels.
A decent living income, good, cheap housing and pensions with purchasing power for everyone who tried to work as hard as they could while living here I think can also be a working recipe to ward off political extremism, gang crime and terrorism.
Om the state takes back the role of creating money from the banks, we can afford the needs of society, the environment and the people. At the same time, we minimize the risk of financial crises and mountains of private debt.
