Ze willen pertinent geen "gratis" basisinkomen, geen vrijblijvende hangmat
meer, maar alleen dan een recht op een basisuitkering die anderen betalen,
als dat onverhoopt nodig is en voor wie oud is, met voor wie weer kan werken
evenredig harde plichten daartegenover, om te solliciteren, te revalideren
en te reintegreren, werk te aanvaarden, zonodig zich bij te scholen, en als
op eigen kracht de trampoline toch niet verlaten kan worden zich na een
eigen kansenperiode in te schrijven op een basisbaan...
