the ?72/wk thing for workers costs the same as an ?11,600 tax free personal allowance

And the Tories want, err, a ?12,500 personal allowance.

The problem with the citizen's income isn't the cost, it's that it hits the poorest hardest (as they lose the personal allowance and working tax credits etc.)
