LMAO just how much is this "basic income" $150,000 a year?

 

[basquebromance]

it would cost 3 trillion dollars. if you look at our current welfare spending, we spend a lot. the freedom divident is opt-in, and then you forgo other benefits, so the cost is brought down fast.

Let’s play this out...

I live in an extended household wit 7 adults and currently a roughly $145K total income. Give us each a $30K (untaxed) basic income and Medicare for all and there would be literally ZERO incentive for the two of us in the household to actually work.

We have the whole of central America to pay for. And the refugees from Syria, Libya and Africa.

Most of these folks are poor because of their own bad decisions. Their lifestyle is the consequence of their own mistakes. I see no need to remove the consequences of such actions. In fact I would prefer we increase their misery as a means to teach the next generation not to make the same mistakes.

refugees like Ilhan Omar are the heartbeat of America

And who again is going to pay for it? When no one is working anymore just so they can all get free shit, does the government "at the point of a gun" force everyone to work? That is what Socialism ALWAYS ends up at.
