The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey of Likely Voters shows that only 11% favor a proposal for the federal government to provide every single American with a basic income grant, or enough money to enjoy a modest living regardless of whether they choose to work or not. Eighty-two percent (82%) oppose this idea. (To see survey question wording, click here.)

Well, I’d take that deal! There are far far more than 11% in this country who get a totally free ride in one fashion or another!
Why is it only be a grant for basic existence. If we are going to do it, let’s do it right. Make it enough to enjoy a life of luxury. To do less would be racist.
I am surprised the # is that low.
These people have the IQ of a turnip
1. Should all Jewish bankers be throw into gas chambers and then burned in ovens?
2. Should all African Americans be able to have free entry in all white citizens homes to take whatever they want?
3. Should all Christians be forced to worship Satan as a co-redeemer
Sounds outrageous but I guarantee out of 10 Americans today, you could get 1 to agree with 1 or all three of these questions.
My guess is that 100% of those 11% pay zero income tax.
Don't get near that cheese, FRiend. They use it for their nachos, as in "Get away from that! It's nacho cheese!"
Who is John Galt?
It should be the exact opposite. The more you work the better.
Those who rob Peter to pay Paul, will always have the support of Paul.
11% is about 34million people. Clearly they (I hope) polled adults so that number will be smaller. However, its still a big number b/c most of the population (about 75%) is over 18.
These 11% are running the government! Remember Obama’s Constitution of “positive rights”.
It’s over.
The left is always there, but letting them in control is a catastrophe.
“They should try Cuba!”
Nonsense. Your wallet ain’t in Cuba.
You will hardly find a court in America which treats the average working stiff as being equal to a bum on welfare. The average person who works and supports a family is viewed as “lucky” and narrow minded. The bum is noble.
Well, I would say that solves the big mystery of where most of the 19% strongly approve statistic is coming from.
I’m a 100% sure that this 11% paid 0% taxes.
Yes in Childhood’s End they installed a socialist utopia.
Then they killed every man woman and child on Earth, destroyed the planet, and only a tiny elite was allowed to go on.
Leftism in a nutshell.
