There are seven to eight million illegal immigrants living in the «European Union» without a dwelling. They were not eligible for any governmental health aid and had no access to schooling. By law, they did not have the right to work, however they were able to find jobs. They were forced to work overtime, without days off, and they did not receive a salary.
Annually, 500 000 people risk their lives in escaping their country to try their luck to make it in Europe. These people lived in cardboard or plastic boxes. In colder regions, they would live in tiny, expensive basement apartments where they would take turns sleeping in what are called “hot beds.” The citizens of North Africa, who did not die on their way escaping to Europe, lived in “death camps.” The numbers of dead refugees keeps on growing, their bodies line the shores of the Mediterranean Sea. These bodies are nameless and unidentifiable. These are the bodies of people who never realized their cherished purpose.
They way they saw it, there was no other choice, every year millions would die in their homeland, they did what they could to avoid being part of the body count. They knew that the government’s spending on guards to protect the boarders could have been invested to fight against poverty in the African regions. Instead, the government would finance Non-Governmental Organizations (NGO), costing enormous amounts of money to sustain internal bureaucracy. Necessary jobs were created in developed countries to help the people living in poor countries.
In the middle of the 20th century, there already have been discussions of a war against unemployment caused by a technological revolution. There have been thoughts of breaking the traditional concept of working for your money.
Many politicians reacted unexpectedly to the idea of a minimal Basic Income. However, no one paid attention to the business people, union coordinators, and the public who tried to illustrate the advantages of minimal Basic Income, which would have solved the unemployment problems and would have spared people from living in a working society. Neither politicians, nor civilians could imagine how to guarantee the society a stable income. Many believed that a stable income would discourage people from working. At the beginning of the 21st century, the idea of stable income was not only frowned upon, but limitation, control, and repression were inflicted on the people. The government started hiding information from people, they set up electronic traffic and video surveillance, biomedical human identification and monitoring, military occupation, etc.
In these ways the government started to take control of people who had no jobs. They did not want to free the people who worked, because no one knew how they would react if freed from society’s stranglehold.
