And I can tell you why
By moving the tax-free allowances, welfare, and pensions to UBI, you create a single system without any complications - not only is it the simplest and cheapest system to administer, it also removes any possibility that these three groups can use the other as a political hammer to beat each over over the head with - everyone's wellbeing is tied to that one benefit - reducing it harms everyone, increasing it help everyone
It eliminates welfare fraud by definition
It is welfare fraud by design
lol, how can it be welfare fraud by design?
By that argument, all tax-free allowances are tax fraud by design
Because it can't possibly be anything else, what do you think where money comes from?
All tax-banding is tax-fraud by design
Does it grow on trees?
Money come from taxation
No, wrong wrong wrong
Money is created by the workers and the entrepreneurs
Yes. UBI does not stop this
No one else creates money
UBI interferes with that process
It doesn't
Yes it does, because people can comfortably live off of it
No
And so they will
If people can comfortably live off UBI, then it's set too high
It's UNIVERSAL
And?
It MUST be too high
lol, are you wearing lycra?
If it's not too high, what do you think will happen?
so why aren't you living off welfare EtBrood?
That's some mighty intellectual gymnastics going on
if its just free money
Value comes from work, money comes from banks...
_get it right people_
The other benefit of UBI properly set is the inevitable drive towards a part-time working world
Oh look, we've got someone to the left, they just get 1200 and their apartment takes up 1000 of that, I guess it doesn't work for that person. But look to the right, that one shares the apartment with three other people who all receive UBI. Problem solved.
That's why UBI will always be too high
Isn't that a choice each person gets to make?
Yes, and they will
Why do you want to demand every person live the same way?
That's the point
They will form ghettos
I wouldn't
Most people I know wouldn't
neither would I
