Topic	Mark Zuckerberg calls for a universal basic income
Zeus 05/26/17 3:14:45 PM #47:	Blighboy posted... He's a celebrity, he's not allowed to voice political opinions unless I share them. In general, celebrities are just laypeople with a louder voice. There's really no reason to take their opinions on matters outside their realm of experience any more seriously seriously than those of the guy bagging your groceries (aka Argo, zing!) KevinceKostner posted... TheWorstPoster posted... He is an idiot who only got rich with some website that more or less plagiarized another popular one. You mean a self made billionaire like president what's his name? Zuckerberg stole ideas, cheated business partners, engaged in unfair if not illegal business practices, etc... he's basically everything people accuse Trump of being except, instead of providing society with something useful like housing, he created an entertainment site which helps break up families. Not that I fault him for go getting his at the cost of everybody else. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YYmrPn1CnzY jedirood posted... It sounds great in theory, but... Kimbos_Egg posted... where the hell is the money from this going to come from? Pretty much. Even if it docked entitlements (which it likely wouldn't, despite being proposed as a replacement), it would still require far higher taxes. The_Beta_Male posted... it's funny dude i just randomly thought of this idea myself some time in the last 10 months and now other people are realizing it, too. it would solve so many problems It's funny but some other dudes randomly thought of this idea decades ago. The_Beta_Male posted... See, me, I wouldn't just stop at "basic income." I would go full-blown dictatorship. Let the government have total fucking power; let them have whatever they want without having to need fucking money to pay for it. Boom, no more taxes--because why? The gov doesn't need money anymore. Boom, no more poor people remaining poor because they no longer have to pay for stupid shit like taxes or work stupid jobs if they don't want to because they'll get a small, but live-able amount of money per month. This would then make those shitty jobs actually have to provide incentive for people to work there: like maybe ACTUAL live-able wages and/or decent work environments? The power would go back to the EMPLOYEES, not the employers. That's how it should be in the first place. Even monarchies and communists had taxes. --- (\/)(\/)\|-\| In Zeus We Trust: All Others Pay Cash <cite>Zeus posted [p:879859935] in Mark Zucke...
