Insanity! Stockton, CA To Give $500 To Residents As “Basic Income”

[danielpalos]

How broke will California go is the question.

Pot is legal now and taxed; that new revenue can be used.

This is what happens when you elect a Democrat, especially a black one, as Mayor. Expect the town to become inhabited by the scourge of the earth.

OK, well here's the thing about Stockton California. So named because it is THE livestock auction hub for the state. And if you've ever driven past it, your eyes will water and you will choke and gag at the smell miles around it.

So the money may simply be to entice people to actually live there so the town can have an actual economy. Just sayin'

Right....offering taxpayer funded freebies always attracts the best of us....haha

Capitalism requires capital to function. Only the right wing, never gets it.

If they don't have an 'actual economy' then how are they going to pay those 'basic incomes'? Sheer madness.....but that's the Leftie mindset....

A more diverse economy is usually recommended for any portfolio.

Whoa, if this doesn't work out, good luck trying to take it away.

Special citizen classes are unconstitutional. I would want the $500 per month due me regardless of my other income.

$500.00 a DAY!

Stealing from the productive - and they will, as it's standard operating procedure - to give to the unproductive does not equate to a "diversified economy".

More people paying City taxes and circulating more money locally.

They have to first TAX the money to hand it back out. Say 100K persons get $6K/yr = $600mil/yr.

To pay everyone ~300K in Stockton is closer to $1.8bil/yr (add on overhead/handling costs....call it $2B/yr)

as long as they do not get federal money to do it

i dont care

in fact

pass the popcorn

as California slides into the sea

--LOL

California is a donor State anyway. And, we legalized pot; sales are booming.

Yup, like feeding wild badgers.

You are resorting to a fallacy of false Cause under our form of Capitalism. Only socialism has social morals for free.

Pot is still illegal under Federal law. And if Sessions in a fit of smirking perversity decides to actually enforce the law, what then?

I am trying to convince the British to teach baboons to fill their own kibble dispensers, away from human settlements.

How broke will California go is the question.

Deliberately.......

That is why all of those who are responsible deserve a traitors death.


We won't wake up until everything is rationed out to the non elites.

Socialism = the old FEUDAL SYSTEM.

The rich and the fucked

The city is already bankrupt so this should work great!

Multiplier effect? I don't get how taking $2B out of the revenue pot (no pun intended doper boy) then putting $1.8B back into the same pot is any multiplier? So they go buy 40s quicker then un-wed breed and that is your multiplier?

That's assuming they never venture out of Stockton. In reality, much of that money is spent outside of Stockton. Not a multiplier at all.

This will be required for all Americans soon when A.I. and the robots are doing all the work. Soon we won't have driver's ed because the cars will drive themselves.

From what I've read, this project will start out as privately funded for 50-75 families for a short term, with something like $6000/ year. But Stockton has over 300,000 residents, can't imagine how they'll do that for everybody or where the money will come from. What the hell, let's give them free health care and free college while we're at it.

Yes, let's. It will be good for the economy, like a universal basic income. Coming soon as there will be no jobs for humans.
