Paging all ILLEGALS.

If you want everyone in your community to have enough the only way that will happen is for you to rid yourselves of people who don’t have enough. It’s called by some gentrification.

Cash for people - brought to you by the folks who brought you cash for clunkers.

People in government propose such things. Funny how they never seem to key in on exactly WHO is suppose to pay for such things.

Nothing new here, we’re doing it already ... right Jesus or Maria?

Legalize pot.
Free money.
What could go wrong?

Does anyone remember all the airplane hijackings during the 60’s and 70’s. It stopped all of a sudden. Does anyone know why?

Has anyone noticed everything was quiet after 911? Does anyone know why?

Same reason as this article. We pay them NOT to do the crime. What is the purpose of welfare? To stop them from rioting.

Anyone here think we can stop welfare?

It’s a logical extension of public sector union pensions.

This idea isn’t new. In 1969, Richard Nixon tried to push through a guaranteed annual income scheme that he dubbed the Family Assistance Plan. Governor Ronald Reagan was one of the leaders of conservative opposition to the plan, although some liberals opposed it because it didn’t go far enough. The bill finally died in the Senate in 1972.

I’ve just been reading “Washington’s Crossing”
and learned something new.

Newark was originally called, New Ark of the Covenant.

Learn something new every day.

What's Ras Baraka’s Newark annual budget look like? Is this the final collapse of society, free money and moral ambiguity as a rule?

[Lizavetta]

Not even bothering to disguise vote buying anymore. With your money.

“Ras Baraka”

Whut???

Hey, why should anyone have to work? Money will just rain down from the heavens, right?

Just when you thought people could not get dumber, here comes another one...

[EQAndyBuzz]

So they will pay them and take away their welfare? Will they then tax them for what they pay them? Wouldn’t it be easier to cut their welfare by 25%, rename welfare to payfare and be done with it?

..."launched a taskforce to see if the program is feasible ..."

I can figure this out in 30 seconds. I'll bet the "task force" takes several months to reach the same conclusion for a 100K contract. Friends of the Mayor maybe? These leftists are losing their minds.

Newark is going to be bailed out if this passes.
