    Hey man i laughed my ass off at Buttfister Fuckface. I'm just trying to iterate to you that your position on UBI sucks really bad. Its all light hearted, but if i am banished from the land of poorly defined communism than so be it.

    Minimum wage, basic income, etc...there is no benefit so long as the market is free to adjust prices to compensate. Essentially it does nothing good or bad.

    If a price ceiling is implemented, it causes problems that aren't worth the benefit.

    Politicians know all this, which is why minimum wage and basic income are discussed seriously, but nobody will fuck with prices.

    I'm still curious who is trying to change our economy to a communism and who is pushing for basic income.

    “We should do away with the absolutely specious notion that everybody has to earn a living. It is a fact today that one in ten thousand of us can make a technological breakthrough capable of supporting all the rest. The youth of today are absolutely right in recognizing this nonsense of earning a living. We keep inventing jobs because of this false idea that everybody has to be employed at some kind of drudgery because, according to Malthusian Darwinian theory he must justify his right to exist. So we have inspectors of inspectors and people making instruments for inspectors to inspect inspectors. The true business of people should be to go back to school and think about whatever it was they were thinking about before somebody came along and told them they had to earn a living.” - Buckminster Fuller

    This guy's poop was probably smarter than the whole Hardcore Husky think tank.

    Yeeup. But that also went over he heads of all but three guys in this bored, and sled never had a chance.
    I caught it but since it's total bullshit I threw it back!

    communism: a political theory derived from Karl Marx, advocating class war and leading to a society in which all property is publicly owned and each person works and is paid according to their abilities and needs.

    Universal Basic Income would be classless and personal possession of property would still exist. The 'this is communism' argument is just some dumb argument from broken baby boomers who took in too much war time propaganda when they were younger.

    No such thing as classless regarding economic status. Never has been, never will be.

    Classless Cuogs we've got.

    Well TLDR; the notion that people should be living with more than they need, while others live with less than what they need is shit.

    Well I don't need all these bullets. I'll share them with you and your comrades if it comes to that. Careful they're hot and fast!

    Keep this shit up I'll poast a quad!

    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.

    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.

    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.
