RE: Guaranteed Income for Every Citizen - Best Way To Revitalize Humanity

in #money8 years ago

So, should governments pay their citizens a basic income?

I would reject this premise. "Governments" do not pay anyone anything. The wealth that they are distributing has been taken from the very "citizens" that they want to pay.

The worst part is, that same government will first confiscate that wealth, pay themselves, then redistribute what's left. So, we can let everyone in on the little secret here:

It's a scam.

Sort:  

Benevolence through confiscation... what could go wrong there?

::Chuckles::

Good point @ats-david. Maybe I should rephrase that.
Should we demand our government give us back our own money and distribute it equally to each citizen?

Distribute it equally? Was it all equally taken? Maybe give back the amount that was taken to those people who were extorted.

Better yet - they should just stop taking it.

What if we empowered our governments to extract these funds from the Jacob Rothschilds from the world?

Surely anything is possible..
