No more taxes.

No it's because many people are not able to get employment or not able to get well paying employment and we need to be able to help those people

Yeah it wouldn't be enough to pay for it, he suspects massive economic growth which won't happen as it's just redistributing existing money

There's a 5 cent tax on Soda in my state.

I've written up a thing on healthcare comparisons before

and basically the U.S. has a way higher survival rate than most of europe

first you get some boots and some boot straps @The Electric Lizard

And people have the gall to say it's not a tax, it's a "deposit".

the UK has like a 45% higher death rate in hospitals than the U.S.

their healthcare system is basically garbage

copying it would be silly

then you know. you got a problem with google and your poor?

It's free

make your own google

boom.

it may sound nice on paper to have a UBI, but it's terrible

nothing is free as you have to pay for it in taxes xD

UBI is a brilliant policy

Also, isn't the only reason that those countries can have socialized healthcare because we're bankrolling their militaries?

With increasing automation unemployment will increase

GUYS GUYS

its not UBI

We need to make sure that those people aren't stuck in poverty

its the Freedom Dividend

Well that makes it sound better

Automation replacing people wouldn't be a problem if the minimum wage wasn't so damn high.

UBI basically won't work as you can only make money by taxing the people, and you can't tax people more money than they have. You can't give everyone 12,000 a year without taxing them 12,000 a year

Put the word Freedom on it and it makes it sound more appealing

Automation is also overrated as problem as it is only set to replace a few percents of the economy

Unless the phrase is "America bring Freedom to Iraq".
I'm sorry I couldn't resist.

Like 4% replacement of workers is not really enough to justify giving the other 96% 12,000 dollars

you won't make that much money via taxing automated industries

it's just not there

The point is that it should replace more

12,000 dollars a person is just not pluasible

Automation can take the burden off of the American Workers

And in order to stop mass unemployment either we can use UBI

That's like 3 trillion dollars, which results in like, in comparison to our existing 4 trillion dollar budget, a 75% increase
