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

It would cost 1.5 trillion per year to give every adult in America $500 per month... not even enough to live on. In order to do that without borrowing money, we would have to raise the taxes of every working age American by $1000 per month... I guess that would be a net $500 per month. Do you have $500 per month lying around? I guess just borrow more from our enemies then?  There are many other alternatives. For example, there is a lot of empty land in this country. Why not start giving plots to families and letting them live how they want? That would be free, it would be up to the families to hunt, grow food, and survive. But that isn't even an option. Instead they want the poor on food stamps so they can go get full off poisonous fake food. This would be my choice. It's all I want really, to be allowed to remove myself from the situation of needing money if i choose. Sick of having to pay simply for existing. It's so unnatural.
