The only good sentence you've poasted so far. Now DIE.Gwad said:I'd say what we have now is closer to communism as you never actually own your property due to taxes and levees. But with what we have now the wealth of the nation is funneled upward to make rich people richer.

Thanks Hondo!!!!AZDuck said:Okay, bored.
You know who massively expanded our very stripped down version of UBI?
Saint Ronald of Reagan.
It's called the "Earned Income Tax Credit."
I guess you weren't so bored as to actually read the thread. -

And Millennials love to scapegoat and blame everyone else for their failings. Just like you did here. Classic. Perfection.Gwad said:

I agree at some point you have to take ownership of your learned behavior and change course. The generational marginalization antics of the baby boomers vs. millenials is just ironic as fuck as we are so closely connected.TurdBuffer said:

If true, why are u out in such a hurry to give it all away?Gwad said:
Well big corporations are already taking the ball and running to tax havens. The current fiat status of our currency means that this is already going to happen, the dollar is going to shit sooner or later. Globalism doesn't have a long term viability anyways, it is only sustained by unlimited growth. Its perpetuation up to this point has been supported by taking things under the guise of 'spreading democracy'.salemcoog said:
Sane people agree that our economic and political structure is gamed to benefit the rich. I'm all for fair taxing of the rich. I'm all for eliminating tax deductions for everyone as well. A flat, tiered tax is the way to go imo.Gwad said:I'd say what we have now is closer to communism as you never actually own your property due to taxes and levees.

Your plan is however expensive and it would need absolute isolationism for it to work. For if you are going to take it to the rich, you are going to have to stop them from taking their ball and running to a more tax friendly country. The same with big corporations.
This plan doesn't mesh with the progressive ideal of globalism, at all. It would require Economic Nationalism to a degree that would make even Troomps blush. -
Judging by your earlier post filled with low self esteem, you have just pretended to comprehend and are now highlighting the only thing you did understand.oregonblitzkrieg said:

Wait, conservatives love trickle down economics, but when the process is sped up they don't like it?
Sharing the wealth is bad?
One of our manpower audit teams just finished an audit on why it is so hard to fill positions. Essentially you have people with no skills and it doesn't matter how great of a work ethic they have or how quick of a learner they are because they will never get an interview.
Then you have people with skills and they use you as a resume bullet and a way to get a pay raise in five years.
There is currently a massive number of jobs in the US that stay unfilled because they require skills and the government and private industry isn't interested in sinking the cost of training into someone that is going to leave in five years.
GBI would get more people off the couch because it would make a shit job less shitty and it would afford skilled labor positions to be filled because the pay could be less and offset the sunk cost of training. -
