RE: That day I got a downvote and turned into a crazy maniac

I was served? Public health and public schooling are a plague, why would I want to pay more in taxes to get those for "free?" Have you figured what percentage of a UBI Yang is going to add on top of his VAT, and what percentage of that percentage will actually go to fund the "freedumb dividend?"

Sort:  

I'm confident in the arguments I made at the link you posted above. It was also a better discussion, because it didn't devolve into degeneracy like today's did. Additionally, I am certain all countries would do UBI if it wasn't a leftist pipe dream.

If it makes you feel any better; I’d be for a UBI if it didn’t involve theft, chicanery, was practical and worked. But UBI involves theft, chicanery, is impractical, won’t work, and will destroy the economy. The aforementioned will make things much worse, people will develop a sense of great entitlement. So much so, that when the rug gets pulled out from under them; They’ll think it is okay to lie, cheat, kill, and steal, just to get back what’s no longer coming to them for “free.”

Too spent to go into this one again. We just disagree is all, it's cool. Hopefully you won't have to learn first hand about the horrors of communism/socialism. The chances of America doing it the so-called "right" way that you imagine is possible, is slim to none. We could fuck up a PB&J sandwich and charge billions for it.
