More ground prep for Universal Basic Income.
and the flip side of the universal income argument which is never spoken is: the money has to come from someone! Hence, when more than half of the population pays no income tax and even gets money over and above what they may have paid in, the producers get socked.
When I heard 50% of those surveyed thought the tax cut was a good thing (as opposed to more than 50% which seemed more likely), one has to consider that half of those surveyed don’t pay taxes to begin with. In fact, they look at it as less money in means less bennies for them. F em I say.
And confiscation of 401ks and IRAs.
My first thought.
It would appear that Millenials are the first true generation that is inclined towards Socialism. Sure, in the past there have been pockets of fringe groups wanting Socialism, but Millenials, who went all in for Bernie, seem the most eager to see Socialism implemented as evidenced by the universal basic income appeal.
It's always in the best interest of the least industrious of society to demand Socialism. Bernie promised a lot of free... stuff.
The Boomer generation were a very selfish lot, but Millenials truly believe they are deserving of all and should be rewarded for just showing up. Guaranteed basic income rewards Millenials and the least industrious with the wealth created by others and rewards their self-esteem because they showed up, therefore they should certainly be given "something"!
