Topic	Bernie Sanders introduces the BEZO act to help end corporate welfare.
Questionmarktarius 09/06/18 10:32:05 PM #75:	Antifar posted... Questionmarktarius posted... "better outside option"? Read: welfare. If people have the ability to make ends meet regardless of whether they take a job, that generally allows them to hold out for higher wages. This is essentially arguing that welfare cliffs are a good thing. The danger here is that you create a "NEET" class who has no real want or need to, uh, EET. The disaster here is that it becomes a popular enough option that the economy implodes, austerity happens, and then the riots begin. The absolute goddamn nightmare is that it gets bad enough that a "benevolent" tyranny begins assigning work to everyone, then we all wait in a breadline the rest of the day. <cite>Questionmarktarius posted [p:908260845] in Bernie San...
