nice
Current welfare budget excluding housing benefit and social care, 200bn
so you're only 70bn short
see this is the problem with your system
the poorest don't pay income tax
you're having to cut money to the poorest
to make it work
for people on minimum wage, ubi will give them far more money than they'd lose
tax-free allowance going would mean the poorest paying tax on all their earnings below 12500
yes
lol
nobody would lose more than 2500 from the tax allowance loss
And my system would give them more without fucking with taxes or cutting money to the disabled
your system doesn't do anything to fix the problem
lol
Also £130 UBI would literally kill people
UC is more generous than that to people who need it
Lets do the whole household thing
comparison for your system
UC isn't
UC is £90 a week
No it's much more
Let me demonstrate
And lets see how many people die from your policy
The poor of course
You realise £130 is more than £90, right?
You realise you can't add
Point out the mathematics error
You're not adding UC together
you're taking one element and not adding any others
ignorantly
Oh, it's worse, UC is only £72 a week
You're right
Hah
we'll see
Most adults don't have kids
But if kids are the hill you want to die on, then sure, extend UBI to children at a reduced rate
Nah
it's worse than that
