What percent of GDP should be devoted to a universal minimum income

[danielpalos]

Tough shit.

End the capital gains preference when there is no Jobs Boom!

I say tax the f•••ing rich and give all the workers and people that don't want to at the moment a goddamn UBI.

Those who don't want to work can starve.

It is one thing to provide a “safety net” for those who want to work, but are temporarily unemployed; but worthless, lazy parasites, such as yourself, are another matter entirely. If you are unwilling to contribute anything to society, then you are not entitled to what others have worked hard to produce. You are most especially not entitled to the wealth of those who might otherwise use it to create opportunities for others to work and earn an honest living.

Why not simply, "burn at the stake", practitioners of the abomination of hypocrisy, simply for the greater glory of our immortal souls?

Job 34:30 Let the hypocrite reign not, lest the People be ensnared.

Hard to find a job when they automate everything instead of paying a living wage.

Why does an employer have an obligation to pay an employee more than their worth to the company?

Why is it that Progressives whine for a "living wage" but never state what figure you consider a "living wage"?

How does it work that you expect a company to pay far more than the value of the worker but, at the same time, you don't want them to automate in order to be competitive?

What do you anticipate would happen to all other income levels above them if suddenly the least skilled among us are now given, what you call, a "living wage"?

 

[Markle]

Can't compete in business if your competitors can get away with paying slave wages.

Why do you believe there is such a thing as slave wages? Would the employee being paid that amount not leave and go to work for an employer paying far more for the same job?

Because of increased automation, a universal basic income is a very solid idea. After all, our economy relies on consumer demand. If consumer demand drops because of low employment, it has to be filled by something. A universal basic income acts as defacto consumer demand. It's a smart policy for advanced economies.

Where does that money to pay more than a job is worth, come from?

Social services cost around fourteen dollar an hour by comparison. It is about privatizing costs not socializing costs.

Under our current regime, an employee cannot simply quit in our at-will employment States and are required to have, just Cause for leaving any gainful employment, to collect unemployment compensation in our at-will employment States.

It is almost like having a right to work, in Right to Work States.

CultureCitizen, until our laws and regulations automatically retain our federal minimum wage rate’s purchasing power’s, it’s extremely doubtful that any federal minimum income rate could be passed and enacted.
I would suppose a bill that automatically updates the federal minimum rate’s purchasing power would additionally increase the base purchasing power upon which the bill would be based.

Daniel Palos, an enterprise is not required to employ any specific person.

Those that do not consider increasing their payrolls to be to their own best interests are not legally required to do so. Business owners’ may clean their own toilets if they wish to do so or to pay others the federal minimum wage rate to do so.
No person or enterprise is entitled to disregard the law which was passed by the United States Congress, upheld as in compliance with the Constitution of the United States and legally enacted, because they’re opposed to the law.

No reason to have massive debt instead of ending tax preference that does not work to create, Jobs Booms.
