Great idea except for one tiny detail.
Who will pay for it?
Tax is theft...

Sort:  

Universal Basic Income (UBI) is already a reality. It's paid for by a 501(c)(3) charity administered by the People’s Currency Foundation...

I wrote about it in this article.

Just like Steemit is a great idea, but who's going to pay for it???

Answer: Blockchain!

I don't under stand any of that.

It's all really very easy. Go to the link I posted and submit your email address and phone number (like you have done millions of times in a million places) and - VOILA - the checks start rolling in.

If you need a complicated explanation, here is the equation:

well why didn't you post that equation before?
that explains everything...

Not.

checks roll in huh?

I don't know if you ever had a "real job", but that's what it's like. Every week on Thursday you go to your account and see that it is fatter than last week. It's a good feeling. You should try it!

I've mostly been self unemployed for the last twenty some years.
(I owned my own trucking business).
I'm familiar with 'manabase'....in fact I have an account. I think it's got thirty cents in it...or maybe that's three cents....all those decimals.

That's fine..but my rent runs $1300 a month.

I know the drill, having been an independent contractor all my life. It's a license to steal; for your employer that is. No taxes, no workman's compensation, no health insurance, no dental, no vision, no term life, no concierge, not even a Xmas card, no nothing.

UBI is not about living large. $1300 a month? You might consider scaling down a bit. Who is cleaning your toilet and scraping the baseboards? Unless you get pleasure in these pursuits, you might consider simplifying your life and living within your means.

so judgemental.
you might consider not being so condescending.
i'd be paying a LOT more if I wasn't grandfathered in.
it's expensive where I live.

Yes, the concept seems to be gaining strength. (was going to say Steam). The social justice and economic justice crowd are delighted no doubt. I'm pretty wary of the idea, but my vote on the subject is less than .01. In the meantime some will always be more equal than others. Thank God.

Tax is theft unless used for the common good like national defense. Taxes should not be used for benevolent gifting by the government.

theft is theft regardless of what it's used for.

What? Did the sky fall or is this the first time we have disagreed? Have a good evening, sir.

theft: taking by force.
no mention of made it what it's used for.

The congressional budget is available to us. This is a good place to start:

Well, I do not see this feasible, because the world, unfortunately, not only revolves around the technology and its AI; and trying to control all these variables is not an easy task: socialist-communists, politicians in general, corrupt, crazy governing nations, environmentalists, defenders of human rights, wars, terrorism ... put all these variables in the same algorithm that allows bring UBI suitable to everyone, I do not see it.

Nice bos...
our age is almost the same huh?
but i am 18

today they are creating money out of the tin air and everything goes to the big banks . who is paying for that ?

how much was the bank bailout in 2008 ? if that money was given to all Americans how long they could survive on that money alone ?

beats me.
you seem to pay a LOT of attention to what goes in America.
do you pay as much attention to what goes on where you live?
do others who live there?
is that a clue?

not much is happening here , started following US politics and economy when I lived there

when you lived here illegally?
a criminal complaining about 'lawbreaking'
imagine that.

I am citizen of the planet earth my friend

keep telling yourself that.
what ever it takes to get to sleep at night.

and by the way if you people did not destroy factory I used to work here I would never ever go to your shit-hole

think of it as urban renewal..
no charge..
now you can rebuild (like japan, germany, SKorea, ...the list goes on and on) using modern technology.
without having to tear down that early stone age factory.
