    <div class="moz-cite-prefix">I'm surprised to hear that people
      outside of Belgium ever hear about Vivant. I used to vote for them
      when the where an independent party. The have however merged into
      the liberal party in Flanders and by doing so became quit
      irrelevant. Some former Vivant members are now in PPBE. So I
      believe Basic income has a good chance of making it into our

                I have never heard of this argument? in reality it has
                no basis. If a company was paying you less than basic
                income, you would just not take the job, or you could
                quit the job.
