Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) took aim at fellow presidential candidate Andrew Yang’s (D) proposal for universal basic income, telling Hill.TV that a federal jobs guarantee is preferable because “people want to work.” Yang – who saw a spike in Emerson Polling’s recent survey (4 percent support) and qualified for September’s Democrat presidential debate – has touted his universal basic income plan, promising to give U.S. citizens $1,000 a month.

“Americans will work even harder when they get the resources in place to actually get ahead. This is the trickle up economy from our people, families and communities up,” Yang told Face the Nation earlier this month.

People are working by the way. And for good wages.

Yep, and neither one thinks he needs to ask our permission.
The arrogance of these guys just blows my mind.

"People Want to Work"

So Bernie, when do you plan on starting to do that?

Of all people to bring up the fact of a working ethic.
Bernie is correct, at least today he is.
15, 20 years from now, that will to work may have been destroyed or sharply minimized if Socialism continues it’s pace of growth.

Who was it about half a year ago who supported Basic Income for people who just didn’t want to work. Fully capable, but unwilling. Possibly AOC, but I don’t remember.

Yang is even more commie than Sanders. I didn’t think that was possible.

It was first draft of AOC’s Green New Deal. It was later removed if I recall.

Correction. Bernie wants people to work so he can steal more of our money.

Sure, Burny, until you start taxing me 70% plus, then I don’t want to work ever again.

‘People want to work? ‘

ha, I wouldn’t work if I didn’t have to. I’d just as soon stay home, sad thing, it doesn’t pay.

I bet there are alot of people like me.

I honestly don’t know who’d be lazier: someone sitting on the couch collecting Yang’s guaranteed income, or someone with a guaranteed Federal job.
