Surprised no one has suggested this as a national program Explain how this national program would work? And a check for $2,000 a year helps keep families out of poverty? I find that hard to believe.

Tiberius Posted February 23, 2016 Author Share Posted February 23, 2016 They have to bribe people to live in Alaska. Kind of shows the fallacy that lower tax rates are driving population growth in some states 1) Explain how this national program would work? 2) And a check for $2,000 a year helps keep families out of poverty? I find that hard to believe. 1) Classic two for five 2) Really? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need that explained 2. Yes really. Explain how $150 (and that's on a good year) is going to raise people out of poverty? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiberius Posted February 23, 2016 Author Share Posted February 23, 2016 1. Need that explained 2. Yes really. Explain how $150 (and that's on a good year) is going to raise people out of poverty? 1) You can't see it can be done many ways? Explain them all right? 2) Money would help. Money good.

I never said money wasn't good. But once again you skirted the question. How will $100 a month pull someone out of poverty? That would be too much, IMO How much is perfect?

3rdnlng Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 To big cause inflation man I'm assuming you were trying to say that 100k is too much for each individual because it would cause inflation.
