How much, if tell them that you are likely to shoot TEN somebodies?

I still didn’t see how it will be financed. The article alludes to it but down’t say specifically. It only gives specifics re :education.
When they get into taxpayer pockets, people will start jumping straight up and straight down.

...”firmly believe that talent and intelligence are universal...” Tubbs said when he introduced the program this year....

Right....everybody has talent and everybody is intelligent. What could possibly go wrong with policies based upon and depenent upon that as a premise.

"After Bill Clinton passed the welfare-to-work act, my mom had to go back to school and it eventually motivated her."

That is awesome and that was the entire point of it. We won't even quibble about the fact that it was a Contract with America item that Clinton was forced to sign after the Democrats were crushed, and he later vowed to gut it (when talking to Democrats) and took sole credit for (when talking to everyone else).

Too bad politicians are lacking in common sense, otherwise they wouldn’t dream up this fairy tale.

I wouldn’t want to be a somebody in that town. Are the mayor and city council members considered to be somebodies?

So you can get free money but you can get MORE free money if you are really violent, as a bribe to be less violent. So it incentives being ultra violent so you can collect that bribe. Nice idea.

A country in northern Europe devised an experiment with a group of citizens, with this basic income idea. It was to last two years, they called it off after one.

Zuckerberg and some “nwo” types are also in favor.

[wastedyears]

Sorry John, they have you beat this time.

[momincombatboots]

UBI is tied to artificial intelligence. When workers are no longer needed. Its beyond Zuckerberg.

[right way right]

Just think, we can have government subsided panhandling.
More sure bet democrap voters too.

And free weed, don’t forget the free weed.

Alaska had a lot of oil so they could pay their citizens a part of the profits from its sale.

Stockton, from what I hear, doesn’t have much of a pot to piss in.

Try telling the punks to either stay in school and learn, or go to jail, but that they will NOT “Pass Go” nor will they collect “”$200 or $1000 dollars”.

I now believe that insanity is “catching”. The way it flows from one liberal/leftist generation to the next, while not doing so for conservatives, is proof positive that stupidity and lunacy can be passed down through the generations.

Sane people don’t let their kids marry liberals.

Finland had a trial UBI program and killed it after it didn’t work.

[Ann Archy]

He’s a Black DEmocrat....of course they want to give OTHER PEOPLES MONEY to NON DESERVING people!

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

There used to be another way of dealing with this problem. I believe it was known as “prison.”

[ronnie raygun]

rewarding the criminal, we have come to a point of absolute lunacy

[ronnie raygun]

The minute a white, straight, Christian, conservative male is deemed a shooter the program will end, more redistribution on a ridiculous scale
