Topic	Why a Universal Basic Income would be a calamity
Questionmarktarius 08/14/17 4:10:11 PM #44:	Nomadic View posted... Questionmarktarius posted... Damn_Underscore posted... If UBI happens, would everyone get it? It's not universal otherwise. Then who pays for it? Presumably, a doubling of all the tax brackets, possibly even adding another bracket or two, if the numbers were to ever work. The exact moment you draw a line and say "you don't get free money anymore", is the exact moment you create a disaffected population segment, incidentally right in the middle class, who feel used and milked by ungrateful parasites and puppet masters. In the end, it'll be Obamacare 2: Universal Basicincomeloo. Everyone else is paying twice as much (or more), for the benefit of a tiny few. <cite>Questionmarktarius posted [p:884768663] in Why a Univ...
