Then most people will just buy stuff built by Chinese robots and shipped on automated freighters.
The government will be bankrupt in the next 20 years anyway.
Who was polled? The leftist and commies! Oops the leftist are commies..
I’m still waiting for the flying cars.
Don’t you mean Americans willing to return to slavery? As long as they get a pittance guaranteed.
Not surprising.
Do you think they surveyed people standing in welfare lines??
We’re already there.
The minimum wage in the United States is set by US labor law and a range of state and local laws. Employers generally have to pay workers the highest minimum wage prescribed by federal, state, and local law. Since July 24, 2009, the federal government has mandated a nationwide minimum wage of $7.25 per hour
Means-tested welfare programs encourage dependency and idleness because no one has any incentive to work harder. If you make more than what you qualify for welfare, you lose the benefits. I never thought that’s sound social policy.
Under UBI, its the reverse. You have a floor you can’t fall through. If you want wok harder you can and you can keep what you earn without losing the UBI. If we replaced all of our welfare programs with it, we would come out well ahead.
And give people lifetime financial security.
“First The Robots Will Take Our Jobs, Then They’ll Kill Us. Really?”
I never said that. The robots wouldn’t have to rebel and kill you the evil government will do it for them.
I said that the Universal Basic Income = slavery.
I will expand and say it = death.
And yes, providing people with the UBI would work like welfare and make the recipients lazy, just look at the multigenerational welfare recipients. It is a dream of the left to completely control society. UBI would allow them to achieve that dream.
Yes, because the sinful fools will want something for nothing it will come but it is not a good thing and should be resisted.
“They all had to have this mark, or else they could not buy or sell anything. This mark stood for the name of the beast and for the number of its name.”
Revelation 13:17
(Contemporary English Version)
That verse describes UBI.
UBI is the nightmare to end all nightmares.
Who was polled...
What exactly was asked...
Did the pollees understand that there was no work requirement?
But if people had lifetime financial security, where is their incentive to work at all?
“Universal basic income” means getting paid to do nothing. We’ve had that for generations under another name - “government jobs”.
They have one job. Vote Democrat. Democrats will ensure they are supported on the backs of people who actually work and pay taxes.
I have an American Indian friend who gets monthly checks from casino income...his children and grandchildren get money too.
Forgot to mention that. I have a few
friends in the Navajo NAtion. They also
receive stipends. It shows if you’ve
ever visited an Indian reservation.
Alcoholism is one of their biggest
problems.
