on a real note, the inflation it would cause would negate most if not all of the positive intentions. maybe in the short run, several months, but in the long run, 1000 will become useless
think of the increase in the debt and taxes
insane
The Eu is a big meanie pants
@Brue that, plus the fact that you'd have to take the money from the most productive members of society in order to give it to the least productive
@Benjamin Henry im fine with helping the poor in society, i am not okay with an income tax, a consumption tax would work alot better, and then you can still help the poor with the revenue generated there.
you have to have something created by the government to allow for social mobility of those who do work hard and were just so happen to be born poor
I agree about the consumption tax, but mobility is already pretty good
yea im not saying improve anything
income tax is immoral
It's also explicitly prohibited in the Constitution, if I remember correctly
not 100% sure on that one, but there was an amendment, which nullifies the prior
so it technically is constitutional now
sadly
16th so sad
Shit, you're right
Oh, well
Anyway, though, I think it would be a lot more helpful for poor people if we 1. Cut social programs en masse, and simultaneously 2. heavily promoted charitable giving
@Benjamin Henry what do you think makes individuals who have money give charity to those in their community
Familiarity
@Benjamin Henry that may be one part of it
there are others
Yeah, there are things. Altruism, vanity, guilt, etc. But motivation isn't the thing I'm most worried about. It's inefficiency
Bureaucracy. The more middlemen, the fewer dollars actually make it to the people who need it
everything is about incentives
I know, for me personally, I'm far more likely to donate to charity if I just know where the money is actually going
i would go to say in the function of chance to give charity, social value would be one of the biggest factors
