Former President Lim Jong-seok, the former presidential secretary, issued a check against Gyeonggi Governor Lee Jae-myeong's argument, saying, "The address is very different.
In an article posted on Facebook today (14th), Im Jeon said, "The arguments of those who voice the basic income system are very different in number," and insisted that it deviated from the original purpose of the basic income system.
Director Lim Jeon presupposed that the unemployed and workers below the minimum wage should be given basic income, and emphasized, "It is neither just nor realistic to pay equally to all regardless of asset or income."
The basic income mentioned by world-renowned celebrities is also "for those who are not protected by the market due to extreme polarization and the Fourth Industrial Revolution, not equally unconditional payments," Lim added.
In particular, Director Lim said about Governor Jae-myung Lee's'Basic Income for All Nationals' initiative, saying, "It is difficult to pay 200,000 won per month even if all of our welfare systems are integrated." If it is, it will be a basic income without a'basic' or it will flow into a tabletop discussion without financial measures."
Jeon Lim said, "The basic income debate will greatly contribute to raising the level of solidarity in our society," and "I look forward to a healthy discussion."
