Universal Basic Income: Biden's Best Bet?

[danielpalos]

Almost everyone's aware of Alaska's Permanent Fund:

"...The program began in 1976 after the discovery of oil on Alaska’s North Slope.

"The then-governor, a renegade Republican named Jay Hammond, concluded that this windfall was too good to just give to the oil companies.

"So he devised the program to share the revenue with Alaska residents...."

"OK, here’s the idea for President-elect Biden:

"Bring 20 of the Trumpiest-looking Alaskans to a press conference.

"Unveil a plan whereby every man, woman, and child gets a $1,000 check every month from the government.

"Finance it with taxes on large wealth, fossil fuels, financial transactions, and intellectual property resulting from taxpayer-funded public research.

"Invite the Alaskans to describe the joy of getting their checks: no middleman, no means tests, no government forms to fill out—just free money as everyone’s share of the American commons.

"Dare Mitch McConnell to oppose it."

A Big, Simple, Winning Issue for Biden

The "American commons" are the cultural and natural resources accessible to all members of society. In a time when the privileged few expand their vast fortunes despite a global pandemic and recession, it seems fitting to socialize the profits and privatize the losses.

Does anyone believe "Delaware Joe" will turn on his corporate benefactors?

328 million Americans * $1,000/month = $328 billion/month.
$328 billion/month * 12 months = $3.9 trillion/year.

Fun times indeed. Where is the almost $4 trillion going to come from, Bill Gates?

That's McConnell's response that kills the whole thing.

Moscow Mitch wouldn't do it if it was $.05 a year.

He's scum who cares nothing for Americans.

Irrelevant. It's a stupid idea.

What's irrelevant about the senate majority leader not caring about the people he's supposed to be working for?

its not his job to take care or provide for the people,,

That government is, or ought to be, instituted for the common benefit, protection, and security of the people,
nation, or community; of all the various modes and forms of government, that is best which is capable of producing
the greatest degree of happiness and safety, and is most effectually secured against the danger of maladministration;
and, whenever any government shall be found inadequate or contrary to these purposes, a majority of the community
hath an indubitable, inalienable, and indefeasible right to reform, alter, or abolish it, in such manner as shall be
judged most conducive to the public weal.--Virginia State Constitution

And a state government is free to set itself up that way. The federal government is supposed to ensure free commerce and travel between states as well as the common defense. It is not supposed to oversee every individual's retirement accounts.

Equal protection of the laws is also in our federal Constitution.

Your biased opinion on what McConnell cares or doesn't care about is both unprovable and irrelevant.

 

[danielpalos]

Not gonna happen. Ds will more than likely lose the house in 2022. Nothing's going through the senate.

Biden could solve simple poverty by executive order in our at-will employment States.

 

[Orangecat]

Equal protection of the laws is also in our federal Constitution.

What do laws need protection from?

$1000 per month to every child?

Of course this includes every illegal alien and their children too, right?

Only right wingers insist on having an illegal problem and an illegal underclass by appealing to ignorance of the law.

No he can't. Thats unconstitutional and would be thrown out of the SC immediately. You have a lame duck pervert in office that will be shut down at every turn. Most people will not even recognize this senile bat.

 

[Mac-7]

Actually, as a senator, that precisely what his job is.

Wiping every nose is a bleeding heart democrat occupation

repubs are only supposed to provide a free and fair government which they do

Provide the wording of said order.

I wouldnt go that far with repubes,,,

Talk about a retarded slave, has to have the government give him shit so he can be happy, instead of him developing skills or knowledge that makes him desirable in the workforce where companies can pay him 10s of thousands of dollars, in his own pursuit of happiness, with some overbearing government trying to hold him back...

Socialism is merely about equality and in our case, about equal protection of the laws even under our form of Capitalism.

“The law, in its majestic equality, forbids rich and poor alike to sleep under bridges, to beg in the streets, and to steal their bread.”

― Anatole France

You agreed that means testing is acceptable in equal protection under the law, so stop acting like you're getting a raw deal because you can't get UC. There is a certain set of circumstances that allow you to collect it, and just wanting it is not included.

 

[danielpalos]

Equal protection of the laws is also in our federal Constitution.

Equal protection of the laws is about limiting Government, only right wingers never get it.

No, he could not. If you think so, say how and cite the law that gives him the authority.
