IDBillzFan Posted July 17, 2018 Posted July 17, 2018 2 hours ago, Doc Brown said: That's because polling is starting to show a rapid rate in growing support for UBI that 48% of Americans now support it compared to 12% ten years ago. It could eventually be a political winner. It's a scary direction the Democrats are slowly heading down since the '08 crash. 48% of Americans support a universal basic income program 46% of supporters would pay higher personal taxes to support it 80% of supporters say companies should pay higher taxes to fund the program That's not a winning poll by any stretch of the imagination. In fact, if I were the left, I'd hide that poll. It's embarrassing.

3rdnlng Posted July 18, 2018 Author Posted July 18, 2018 Chicago is talking about an experimental program of giving a thousand people $500 a month as UBI. What could ever go possibly wrong there?

People who think it's a good idea to pay people for doing nothing don't tend to make it to the polls on time. They are good at retweeting other idiots, though.

First of all, half of America doesn't pay taxes, so to ask them if they want free money and to make other companies pay for it is like asking your child if they want ice cream for breakfast. It's a stupid poll. Do you want free money? Do you want companies to be taxed higher to give you this money? How big of a magoo do you have to be to NOT predict the outcome of something so embarrassingly stupid? Second of all, what's my party?

I meant the Democratic party as I was referring to Obama's comment about possibly embracing UBI in the future. Nothing to do with you. It may be a stupid poll, but all it takes are some stupid politicians to embrace that poll and run on it. If this party continues to pursue the Bernie Sanders path to the radical left, then I'll pry just stay home on election day.

Sasha Baron Cohen got several of them to read scripts off the teleprompter promoting arming 3 year old kids.

How they didn't recognize that disguise is beyond me, but I'm guessing they don't watch a lot of TV.

TPS Posted July 18, 2018 Posted July 18, 2018 She comes from the Bernie wing. Had it been another white male, the DNC would've ignored the win. Also, her policies of "democratic socialism" are mostly what the Nordic economies and much of Europe follow, such as universal healthcare. They don't seem to be starving...
