The amount of money it would take to provide a basic income that would actually satisfy the left is staggering. It would have to be enough such that everyone could live at a comfortable middle class level in the location of their own choosing. On average, probably has to be at least 50k per person per year. And it would have to continually escalate a lot, because as new things are invented and they suddenly start becoming "basic human rights" 50k a year won't seem like middle class anymore, as the rich will continue to innovate and create value and grow wealthier. So after a few years, once all the BI people feel poor again, you'll have to raise it to 80k or something. And that will continue indefinitely. --- SmartMuffin - Because anything less would be uncivilized - https://imgur.com/W66HUUy http://dudewheresmyfreedom.com/ ... Copied to Clipboard! |
