What is the right amount of Basic Income?

Charles Murray, a prominent conservative political scientist, who made news of late as being the speaker the snowflakes rioted against at Middlebury, thinks it should be around $10,000 a year deposited into a certifiable bank account (Healthcare would be separate deal). No taxes on your first $30,000 (including the universal basic income) so as to remove dis-incentive from going out and getting a low paying job. Logic is that having $30,000 a year will be better for most, than $10,000 even if you have to earn it by showing up at a job. Right now too many in our society are choosing idle poverty (e.g., disability payments) over working poverty, because there's not much difference financially.

You get basic income AND a job? no. I don't think that's how it works

100% commission... About that time share..

People either love or hate their time share. Buyback/ resell bidness is big

I'd love to hear your solution to the oncoming crisis of mass-automation

It isn't a crisis. It won't happen over night. When Race was a kid, everyone thought there would be meal replicators and flying cars in every home and garage by the year 2000. Outside of manufacturing, automation to replace humans has advanced at a snails pace. And we don't hardly manufacture squat here anymore, anyway.

When Race was a kid they didn't know what cars were.

There's an easy way to make this work. Set the minimum income at whatever they want. Then simply mark your tax return to give the required percentage of your own income to fund the plan. Those opposing handouts wont have to pay and all those nice people wanting to give away money can easily do so. Program goes in the shitter because those wanting it won't pay.

Problem solved. End of discussion.

Guys, don't worry, technology won't take over your job. We don't even have flying cars yet. I mean we all carry around fucking computers in our pockets but technology is moving at a snails pace.
