"Universal Basic Income" makes sense even for Republicans IF they actually do the math.

I guess only rich Arab countries deserve to treat their citizens to free money. Only native born citizems though.

America couldnt handle that type of exxlusion.. Seeing as how acceptable politics here seem to be emotionally based. Libfuks

This idea is much better than communism which basically just means everyone work for peanuts while the ruling class lives like royalty.

Low and middle income jobs will rapidly be replaced by computers and automation so unless you want the middle class to all become bums on the street, this will have to occur.

A plan like this that REPLACES all of the other disastrous programs, would actually boast the capitalist economy into overdrive. Poor people spend their money, they do not sit on it like the rich do.

Don't forget, everyone working will get it too, in addition to their pay.

No. Get a job, you lazy commie bastard.

OP...Call it what it is...Ultimate control.
You will do as told or...
They will not let you become independent.
It is the beast system.

Nor will you ever attain true wealth.
The rich are not going to pay for parasites long.
Once in power..We will dwindle in numbers.

It is just Communism in a new wrapper.
All it will do, is bankrupt any nation that does it, which is exactly what it is supposed to do. Then comes in the NWO with a solution,

Let's make this really easy.

There are 300 million people in the US. (There are more but let's keep the math simple.)

Do $1,000 per person and you're at 300 billion.

That's what you're paying out at $1,000 per person, PER MONTH!

Do it for a year and you're over 3.5 trillion.

Remember, you said Universal, not selective, everyone gets it.

Imagine the cottage industry you'll create for women having babies...

No, only those making less than $24,000. Read OPs explanations. I like it.

NOT EVERYONE. Under $24,000. READ OPs explanations. Very good idea and I think it would actually cost LESS by eliminating huge bureaucracies in each of those eliminated programs and eliminating non citizens from ANY benefits.

OP...Use that Common Core Math Shield....Quickly!

Nothing ever goes away...They change its name and move chairs around.

So you're going to call it UBI instead of welfare and cut their benefits by a significant percentage.

I like it!

I have no belief it will ever happen given people can currently collect rent assistance, utilities assistance, Obamaphones, health care, child care subsidies, and food stamps.

Have you ever seen the calculations that indicate a full range of benefits, which are tax free, are the equivalent of at least a $60,000 per year job?

But hey, if we can cut that by 60%? I'm all for it.

op you make too much sense for glp and for the rest of the world

it is all going to fail anyway bc greedy self-interested assholes hv been in charge for too long

If Universal Basic Income becomes a thing, then I expect my salary to rise a minimum of 100 fold.

UBI is BS. How about just cut taxes, refund only for those truly in need.

Never works. You have to end ALL of the outdated, inefficient, and bloated programs that exist now. Welfare, food stamps, disability, Social Security, and ALL the other programs that offer government payouts.

Having ONE very simple program like OP describes would be much cheaper and would solve MANY existing problems. Instead of just rehashing why it will NEVER work, actually read what he has said and I think what he says makes perfect sense and would work well.

Thread: UNIVERSAL BASIC INCOME SOMETHING TO LOOK FOR IT RIGHT NOW WE HAVE ALMOST 40% OF THE POPULATION IN TO POVERTY ADMIRABLE (Page 11)

we have a minimum wage....work for your income you lazy bastard.

Love it.

"US citizens ONLY." "REPLACES ALL other government payments." Those two statements alone make prefect sense and would pay for the new and ONLY program.

whatever you get it will be poverty level. hate to say it

Universal Basic Income? Are you f*cking serious? Look I'm all for having a safety net, I had to use it when I was in my early 20's getting my career and family started, but I had no one paying my rent (I spent $3000 on a piece of shyt trailer 3 bedrooms 1 bath), but hey that got me through the beginning of my career. It wasn't fancy, it had roaches, it sucked living in the ghetto lol, but I'd rather it be by my hand that I pulled myself up.

You give a mouse a cookie...

What's next a basic cars? basic cable for everyone? get real.

I'm glad I had nothing coming out of high school. No father (dead), no mother (told me to get out now I was 19), nothing. Got a job as a cook. Now I'm a professional chef. People need to stop being lazy and unrealistic in their careers.

We like being human livestock in a cultire of poverty and crime Dystopia run by Rothschild banking cabal.That's why we bailed out the juuuish bankers in 2008 after they crashed our economy and caused 50 million Americans to become unemployed

That is the incentive to go out and earn more for yourself.

Read this thread. Already explained and makes prefect sense.

At the end of the month the tards would be whining to the government that they have nothing to eat and the kids are starving, but they'd have lots of beer, weed, cigarettes and new tattoos.

Too many low IQ liberals can't budget and spend money wisely to receive a monthly payment.

That would take a bloated, overpaid Federal bureaucracy to figure out who qualifies. There goes your Utopian dream of streamlining the system.

So, these liberals who can't do math are expecting money to fall out of the sky or what? Is there a money wizard in the sky?

These same people who piss and moan about 'lazy people who don't want to work hard' are the first people to piss and moan about working a shit job, for shit pay and basically selling themselves into debt slavery for the meager crumbs they are thrown. Funny how they don't seem to have issues with corporate ceo's who make millions of dollars a year in bonuses for basically sitting around doing fuck all.

Shove that crap.

Take away competition and make everyone equally plain.

Just like wait staff and bartenders.

You know the good tippers by the service they received.

You sound like a champion of the motto that competition is a sin.
