Basic Income--a Paycheck for Being Alive!

Stockton California....Now folks here like to throw the word 'Socialism' around--most have not a clue as to what it actually is--but this...fits the bill.

A 28-year-old mayor is giving his city’s poorest residents $500 a month, but he thinks there are still obstacles to rolling out basic income in the US

I get the mayor's concern--but you address income inequality by retraining and by jobs creation... childcare credits...affordable education--but free money turns the masses into a greedy beast--ever hungry.

Democrats love taxing people to foolishly waste their money.

The mayor is not. The taxpayers are. They should be reminded of this constantly.

Free money is a corporate subsidy. It says, Hey fire more people and you will still have a market for your goods from the robots"

The day that welfare recipients create a job for someone is the day your comparison will work...until then its just 1965 hippy nonsense....

This is true..as far as it goes. But eventually you have the corporate world completely dependent on the govt.---and unable to call a halt to any of the increasingly egregious changes that the govt. will want and, since we live in a system that power is derived from the voters--the temptation to use the money from the corporate sector to buy the people's support will spiral..until austerity is called for..then the riots begin.

Soooo, ya wanna be like me....... Oh wait! I pay all my bills and my internet while sitting on my couch vegging...... Granted the taxpayers pay my medical and my SSDI and the wife's medical and SSDI....... Of course my medical is VA and Medicare, they take out monthly for my Medicare........ not to mention the normal out of pocket co-pays, etc. I do have to pay discounted prices for my medications through VA and $24 a month to get discounted prices through Medicare....... which I no longer pay, using VA, it's cheaper.
Never mind........

I'm sure he won't be major for long. None of his tax payers will like paying people $500 a month to sit on their asses and collect someone else's hard earned money.

Socialism works great till you run out of other peoples money.
