Idk probably 150
1500
becouse how welfare is handled now heavily penalises work
UBI wouldnt
But housing taxes are different
Food and shelter, basically.
Adjusted for inflation.
If I’m on SSI on the outskirts of LA where there’s far smaller houses I’m doing better than someone on SSI living in an apartment near downtown
Tbh the need to cut down on alot of the existing taxes
No, we neeed to cut down the government
And by that i mean
Yes, you would probably have to set it per county.
But it doesn’t mean because you get money you can afford what is available to you
remove the president or chancelor or Prime minister
Government is cancer
if you have 1500, and you implement UBI,
You need to multiply that by 7 billion
meaning ~10.500.000.000.000 dollar
per month
even in its lightest forms
7 billin?
every person on the planet?
You assume that everybody would be without a job.
its UNIVERSAL income
not SELECTIVE
everyone gets it
@Undead Mockingbird no, someone with a job would still receive UBI
thats the poiint
its unconditional
Well, then I had the wrong definition.
It's not what Friedman was talking about then.
universal basic income is social security for all
everyone gets the check
doesnt mean they receive money neccessarily.
the koch brothers would receive UBI in principle but itd be a tiny drop compared to their taxes
If everyone get ubi people why would people go to work
I don't see what use Bill Gates would have for a $1000 check or so per month.
@awakening 290 why would people go to work without UBI?
@awakening 290 as i said i dint work precisly becouse we DONT have UBI
To have a money
you see now why its a mathematical impossibility?
For only 1500 dollars UBI
You'd need 10.5 trillion dollers PER MONTH
According to that definition, UBI is complete nonsense.
thats why its stupid
