Guaranteed income?

[Thinker101]

Sure sounds like it, but Compton is a racist city.

Less than 1% of the population of Compton is non-Hispanic white

What the heck is non-Hispanic white?

800 Compton residents to get guaranteed income in two-year pilot program

Universal Income is coming whether you like it or not. It's either that or have millions of people out of work and homeless on the streets. I didn't think I'd see it in the next decade but the pandemic has revved up the need for it.
And yes, I expected taxpayers to fund it...unless Democrats take control of Washington, and then, you may have a chance of getting corporations (who are putting people out of work with automation and offshoring) to chip in.

Automation of labor will all but guarantee it

Then why doesn't FoxConn automate?
Because Tim Cook has already told us that automation costs money and no one will be able to buy the product.

Uh...who needs to automate when you have thousands of workers overseas willing to work for a pittance? Because that's where most of Apple's components come from.
Here?....well...

Foxconn Promised 13,000 Jobs To Wisconsin. Where Are They?

For nearly three years, President Trump has touted a plan to build a huge high-tech manufacturing plant in Wisconsin. But the much-hyped effort hasn't gone quite as planned.

Are you so stupid that you don't know that the Ds voted with the Rs to give tax breaks to companies that off-shored?
Do you realize that Clinton quadrupled the number of Business Visas?
The only different between the parties is that the Ds will send you a very small welfare check.

You Ds are so stupid it's a good thing you don't have to have a functioning brain to breath.

Republicans care even less about the Poor. And, Clinton actually had budget surpluses, and wages outpaced inflation for awhile even with all of those business visas.

 

[danielpalos]

So, people want to saddle all of us who actually produce something of value to our country with onerous taxes in order to support all those who have zero interest in producing anything of value whatsoever, I see.

I assume all those in this thread who support such nonsense are on the receiving end of things and not the ones forced to support them.

You would be more credible if right wingers insisted on abolishing our useless and alleged wars on crime, drugs, and terror; they are extra-Constitutional because we don't have a general warfare clause nor a common offense clause. Why are right wingers only unethical and immoral for wanting to limit our general welfare clause?

 

[BrokeLoser]

Let’s consider the chain of events leading into the discussion of UBi shall we?
Democrats all but open our southern border to some of the worlds most desperate, most disgusting, most criminal human beings.
These filthy subhumans destroy all blue collar trades, our education and healthcare systems, they overload our jails and prisons, and ruin all public services.
They force hundreds of thousands to live on the streets...and now we are preparing to reward them for their awesome efforts by offering them UBi.
WTF is wrong with these ignorant fucks that can’t get out of their own way?

how many whites...how many blacks...how many friends of the mayor

The program aims to include a representative sample of 68% Latino and 30% Black residents in Compton, as well as those often excluded from federal and state aid programs, including undocumented immigrants and formerly incarcerated residents. Soon they'll all be friends of the mayor.

so its a racist program

And a political program. Which taxpayers are the ones paying for the program? Gotta be state or local, wonder how they feel about that, especially when illegals are getting their money. No wonder middle and upper income people are leaving CA.

Mostly conservatives are leaving and they are probably not right wing conservative and vote blue and not red in right wing red States.

 

[Dogmaphobe]

The us will be full of unemployed homeless folks if we don't. There won't be enough jobs to go around.

Let's see here -- before The Democrat party started its war against small business, the unemployment rate was 3.5% ; therefore, you conclude that there aren't enough jobs and we need to lower the standard of living for the productive members of society so to support those who have no interest in working.

I wish I could say that you are a uniquely unintelligent individual, but looking around, I'd say there is nothing particularly unique about it.

If you don't want taxpayers footing the bill for UI, then the only place left to go are the corporations.

The sole candidate from either Party who mentioned Off-Shoring, Business Visas and Trespassers in their 2016 campaign was Trump.
That's why Wall Street hates Trump.
No other candidate gives a damn.

And yet, under Trump, offshoring magically continued. So Wall St can't hate him that much.

]I've said all along this was coming, and it's not even a bad idea.

You’re right, it’s not a bad idea... it’s a horrific idea.. Just another program to incentivize people to look to the Government for their livelihoods. If you can’t support yourself, please just go off somewhere and die, so we can be done with you.

Why do right wingers prefer the immorality of "hating on the Poor"? There is no reason for anyone to take right wingers morally serious about Christian morality. Only fake Christians do what right wingers do.

The Compton Pledge has so far divulged little about the details, such as who donated to support the program, exactly how the participants will be selected, how much and how often recipients receive cash and what the research methods would be.

The Compton Pledge organizers want to maintain the integrity of the process, but ensure transparency once details are fleshed out, said Halah Ahmad, head of public relations and policy communications for the Jain Family Institute, a nonprofit research firm that helps design guaranteed income pilot programs.

Until I see the research methods, it's all bullshit. It has to be measurable.

At least part of it should be random, like a lottery.

The people with 80% of the money are better protected than the average, their income hasn't been affected. Since they make 80% of the money, they should pay 80% of the taxes.

Based on your numbers 80% are paying 80% of the taxes. Now you want them to give free money?

Trump has to tax the shit out of companies that Off-Shored after succeeding in the US.

What do you mean by open borders? We have a naturalization clause not any form of immigration clause in our federal Constitution. Why do right wingers prefer their socialism on a national and international basis but hate the Cost public sector intervention? Naturalization clause is more market friendly yet right wingers hate it and only allege to be for free market capitalism in socialism threads.

Tourism is the first, second, or third largest employer in twenty-nine States. And, if you have a problem with free market capitalism, abolish your useless and alleged wars on crime, drugs, and terror which only makes third world economies worse and creates more refugees.
