Why limit themselves to just a free “basic income” for everyone who doesn’t want to work? Wouldn’t it be better to just give each person in the U.S. a trillion dollar coin for not working? Then everyone who doesn’t work would be RICH and not have to exist at just a subsistence level.
Furthermore, everyone could buy anything they wanted and no one would ever have to work again. The coins could be made from a base metal, so they would be cheap to make, and a few extra ones could be minted for the government itself, so taxes could be completely eliminated and yet government could still function. It’s such an elegant solution I don’t know why it hasn’t been implemented yet.
BTW, when I get my trillion dollar coin for not working I’m going to buy a pony and the Denver Broncos. Oh, and then I’m going to buy my own private jet airplane and then the Mona Lisa, and then ... why heck, I’ll be so rich I won’t even need pony food stamps to feed my pony anymore.
this would require confiscatory taxes on the working people.
This is “atlas shrugged”
Canda is stuck on stupid if they do this.
