RE: Is a Universal Basic Income Inevitable ?
If by voluntarily, you mean if we don't pay, large men with guns will come kill or cage you, then yes.
If by voluntarily, you mean if we don't pay, large men with guns will come kill or cage you, then yes.
So in other words you don't.
How do magic streets in existence then?
Excuse me? So rather than have a debate you prefer to cast aspersions on me? Classy. Believe it or not, not ONE CENT of your federal income tax in the USA goes to building roads. It all goes to paying interest on the Federal Reserve Debt.
Excuse me?
I asked a question, you not really answered. I tried to quench out your meaning and then you start going around with one certain kind of tax in a far away country.
Why?
Why not instead of concentrate on the problem: If no one is paying for infrastructure, no infrastructure is build.
Actually you made a statement, one insinuating I don't contribute to society, THEN you asked a question...
I can not speak for your country, I can only speak for my own. Conversely systems of taxation are usually similar world wide, and I imagine your own system of taxation is largely focused around paying interest on money printed out of thin air.
To your point, you ASSUME no one will pay for roads... but guess what. Private industry has plenty of incentive to do so own its own. The government does not build roads, contractors do. Furthermore to my point, the majority of taxation simply goes to banks who have the privilege of printing money for nothing, NOT infrastructure.
