RE: Why universal basic income should cover both adults and children
SOCIALISM CREATES people with no creative minds. They rely on handouts and the rich and successful with a creative mind. Don't have kids is the answer to support them. If you allow this kind of free money, ALL THE DEADBEATS will having kids like no tomorrow and living off the handouts. So I TOTALLY DISAGREE! Get rid of INCOME taxes is the correct answer and supply a CONSUMPTION TAX ONLY! That eliminates people sponging and they then get more creative.
Please read my most recent post before this one. You don't appear to know what basic income actually is and have it confused with something else.
No buddy, ANYTHING ANYONE gets for FREE is socialism. You work for your money. You create, then prosper. Where does this BASIC INCOME come from? The people who make the money. The "basics" or welfare creators they take your money from the CREATORS to enhance themselves. You put in what you take out. You build. Can't build from the top down. Your thinking is bizarre..Universal income my ass..Get a job..create and build something like I did. No handouts for me..
Anything we get for free is socialism?
Every resident of Alaska every year gets a dividend check. Is that socialism? Would you refuse to cash it every year as a handout?
Is Monopoly a game about socialism?
I also think you take no issue with all the tax subsidies you enjoy. That's free money.
Also, basic income isn't free money. Everyone pays into it.
Additionally, what is your answer to the automation of human labor? You think a consumption tax is going to solve that one? You think tax cuts are going to save the economy from a lack of demand? Millions of people unemployed by intelligent software like self-driving cars and trucks are going to be hurt by receiving enough money to live each month above the poverty level instead of going homeless and hungry? Or do you think millions of truck drivers are all going to go back to school to become software engineers for Facebook and Google?
I provided you a link to read. I don't think you read it. I don't think you even read this post. I think you read the title. Try learning something new and challenging what you think you know instead of just assuming you know enough to comment on stuff you haven't even read.

Yes its socialism, the people who pay into it created it..do you think it grew from a tree? It should be kept by the people who produced it and it was not the government. They produce NOTHING..So who should pay for the people who don't have a job due to intelligent softwares? Someone who created something? Money should be stolen from hard working individuals? NO. Go and learn about taxes and what should be done about it. Your links and thinking are INSANE AND archaic! Read each link and educate yourself: https://www.armstrongeconomics.com/?s=taxes
