What is a 'Safety Net'

[Leo123]

Yang's bill doesn't take from "working people."

He states specifically that it's a dividend from companies like Amazon who makes zillions of dollars off people and currently pay ZERO in taxes thanks to Republican policies.

A safety net is exactly what it says, a net that no American should be able to drop below of. A G a month for everyone would stimulate entrepreneurship, business, creativity, etc. the benefits outweigh everything else...by leaps and bounds.

Nice strawman thread though.

Did you ever take a course in economics (and pass it?)
How in the world does robbing a corporations piggy bank and GIVING it to some non-working slug stimulate entrepreneurship, business, creativity?
It does exactly the opposite!

Well I have done Economics at a well respect university and I suggest you actually look up the money multiplier and spending behaviour of differ income classes.

By investing in the porr you make it possible for them to enter the middle class... Republican policies are just shrinking that middle class and concentrating wealth in the rich... Trickle down economics is a joke and every country in the world knows so and only place they have not caught on yet is in the Republican followers...

Define 'investing in the poor' which is a vague term meant to fool people into taking their hard-earned money.

If trickle down economics is a joke, who's laughing now?

Investing in the poor? How long have we been doing that and what were the results?

The War on Poverty: 50 years of failure

Go back to your well respected university and tell them you learned something they never taught you: WE don't make people poor, middle-class or wealthy. People decide for themselves where they will be in our society--not government.

socialism is about equality and by necessity, equal protection of the law. we should be promoting the general welfare by solving for simple poverty in a market friendly manner.

What happened to the Trump health plan?

I gave you a link discussing that. Read it and stop trolling. Post something relevant.

Looking around......

Where is it?
He said he had one

To me, socialism is about equality of outcome which is the direct opposite of equality in the pursuit of happiness. A guaranteed outcome robs people of motivation. Allowing folks to pursue their passions without taking undue taxes from them for other able bodied non workers is what America has been and is all about. Lifting yourself up, working, investing in your own self worth instead of depending on a government stipend.

We do it all the time with education, jobs programs

If it is so bad, why did the Republican replacement crash and burn?

What replacement? How did it 'crash and burn?' Why don't you ever provide back up for your half-assed statements? Do you just enjoy trolling?

Republicans came up with a replacement of Obamacare that they spent a good three weeks developing and demanded an up or down vote with one day of debate

My God that is a vapid reply....Look here:

:The Democrats just took back the House of Representatives. Attempts to either bring back Obamacare or go straight to single-payer will follow. We just concluded a cycle with a Republican House of Representatives. Voters thought the Republicans would act as a pushback to government expansion into health care. What we learned instead is that powerful lobbies all aligned in opposition to keep their piece of the pie. In the forefront impeding health care reform is a federal government with its never sated hunger for money, power, and control. The few Republicans who professed resistance and represented any hope of fighting this array of characters were soon rendered impotent."

Proposing universal healthcare is the surest way for a Republican to end his career

Government is socialism. We have a mixed market economy which is part socialism and part capitalism. The private sector is capitalism.
