There's so many benefits and welfare systems and confusion out there There's so many people who can't afford rent or go to collegue or put the heating on. Universial Income or whatever you want to call it just sounds like it would cost LESS in tax than we spend on Welfare and costs that occur from crime and homelessness. And would be a moral and pragmatic gain. I'm not an economist but I don't really see the argument against it? I mean I DO Get the logic of "IF everyone gets $800 a month then after a few years the cost of living will rise by $750 a month." Which is true But how is that different than what's happening now? Inflation has been a thing for a long time and that's more to do with the failures of America's right wing government to have a healthy economy. Ive got a couple of raise because our company is doing well but because of inflation, I dont feel like Im making more. My life style is more or less the same. the price of groceries is terrible since thats were most of it goes and than some in savings --- This is my sig. Don't like it, then don't look at it. <cite>Biofighter55 posted [p:962466512] in 72% of Ame... [t:79889597]...</cite> <quote>UnfairRepresent posted... </cite> <quote>It makes sense to me.
