[[Unfortunately Sanders garnered quite a bit of support.]]

Which is pretty damned scary, and should cause us not to take elections lightly- The people elected obama to TWO years after all and damn near elected a felon this year- by all rights- that felon should have lost in an embarrassing landslide as people recognized how corrupt and dishonest she was, but nope- she won a great many states- as apparently people don’t care anymore- Thankfully some independents last election were awakened to the fact that she was too corrupt to vote for, and some more republicans turned out to vote thankfully and our side won- but we’re now in a gimmedat society, and the fact that a stinkign socialist and an unconvinced felon garnered so much support should be troubling- the gimmedat society doesn’t care what crimes their side commits, as long as they are promised lots of free stuff

We certainly can’t rest on our laurels- We live in a much different society today than years ago- We now must do everything we can to win the independents and hopefully some of the black votes as well- as liberals WILL flood the country with illegals in the not to distant future if they regain the presidency

That’ll happen the same day he opens the gate of his high security wall around his Hawaiian mansion, to let in illegals to squat there.

Great idea. Somehow, like other Dems/Libs/Socs he would rather do it with “our” money. People like this have no clue about how reality works.

Once again, proof positive that being a gazillionaire doesnt’ mean you have an iota of commone sense.


Perhaps Mark Zuckerberg is not such a fool.

He owns Facebook and Facebook is valued by how many people it has surfing Facebook web pages at any given time.

The more idle people on government welfare, the more people who have unlimited time to log in and live on Facebook.

As it is right now, idle bored people are one of Facebooks largest customer bases. Zuckerberg is basically trying to build an idle, bored group of people who nothing better to do and can't afford anything other than hang out on Facebook.

How about reduce taxes across the board? Or it all comes out of your pocket, Mark.(BTW, I just disabled your app, you hump)

Yes, but Bernie was able to come across as your kindly (if crazy) grandpa, to some extent. Zuckerberg’s just going to come across as your usual, smart-azz millennial type.

no he thinks the government has an endless supply of iou’s- trillions in debt? Pffft- not important- just keep giving worthless bums the equivalent of $15 an hour by writing checks the government can’t cash

>>Don’t we already do something like that, with the various social welfare programs?? Aren’t benefits such as EBT and the SNAP food stamp program and section 8 housing giving the poor some basic level of subsistence, even if not all is paid in cash??<<

That might be the best bet. Get rid of ALL welfare programs - state and local — and just give a stipend as vouchers. Shelter, food, clothing and bus/taxi passes.

Such an ungodly and divisive system robs the recipient of the humility of being grateful and the giver of the satisfaction of being generous and instead instills a spirit of entitlement with the recipient and a spirit of anger with the giver.

Hey Mark, you give everybody a basic income with your own wealth and let the rest of us decide what to do with ours. Youve got a lot more than typical so its especially rude of you to suggest otherwise.

I am all for this. There is nothing stopping the liberal billionnaires from spending their private income to give all non earners a basic income. Go for it. It is your money. Just dont volunteer my tax money for that purpose. But if you want to give your own money to bums, have at it.

Sure, Zuck, why don’t you give ME a “basic income”????

I think $1 million per year would be a nice basic income I could live on (just barely).... I will look forward to your support. Would you prefer to do it via wire transfer, or Facebook stock which I can sell (hurry, while it is still worth something).

Dear Mr. Zuckerberg:

Time to implement “one click exit” for folks trapped in the clutches of FaceBook.

Sure hope the EU tackles this one.

Maybe the Bernbots will endorse this too.

North Korea already has a great “basic income” policy.

Only if that twit will agree to put all his cash in the pot, so he gets what everyone else gets. Let’s get Buffet, Gates, the Clintons, Cuban etc. to dump all their money in that pot too to make it a little richer for all of us. That’s real equality.
