Or you could get a job like everyone has done since forever. 2,000 a month is basically a full time job in most places. Would definitely cover living expenses in Louisiana after taxes.

So youre saying the government should supplement half the population and only make a fraction of that back every year since not everyone would have a job to pay taxes? Wed burn through all that cash in short order.

Lol it still wont work. Why do people still believe in this notion of socialism/communism on a scale as large as the US when it has failed miserably in the past on both large and small scales?

I would make work mandatory but you would only work 16 hours a week.

In exchange you get $31.25 an hour minimum wage (another 2k) $2,000 UBI, free health insurance, and housing that costs $500 a month

I'll play along.

- Make the rich pay their taxes
- Cut the military budget
- Cut sports/athlete budget

Not realistic at all but those are 3 big money sinks that could go back to us.

Smaller than you think. Eliminating the entire military will not even change the deficit into a surplus.

Ill help you out here.

We wouldve had enough money to fund this (albeit temporarily) if section 8, food stamps, disability, etc were replaced with this and Obama didnt give 1.7 Billion dollars of citizens tax money to fund terrorism.

the present cost of the described provision, if granted to all eligible voters, would be 1/4 of the US GDP.

substantial tax increases would be required to provide this cash flow, and funding for little else would be available.

Looks like you were inspired by my UBI thread lol

Health care, education, and anything dealing with the law should all be free and wealthy individuals should have to use the same legal services as poor ones. The tax payer should pay for it. Big corporations should be mandated to pay a percentage of their yearly profits and everyone who has more money than one can reasonably spend in a lifetime should also have to relinquish that disposable income. I feel like I'm missing some stuff but you get the jist, basically everything that is wrong with america should be fixed because we have the internet and almost everyone has a smartphone and if it's secure enough we could also make sure a lot more people can vote as well. Now to play the waiting game for 20-30 years while politicians catch up.

Ya man, like instead of the new york yankees paying their players so much, they should give the government extra money. The Red sox too! No reason any player should be on 20 mil/yr.

Just make it so the yankees and red sox can only pay their players $31.25/hr and then the blue jays might win the world ser-... i mean, ya then americans will be saved!

The Blue Jays had their chance in 2015 and 2016.
