I legit do not approve of the idea of the U.S. government giving everyone money. It should not be the responsibility of the government to give away money to people, just because people need it. It creates a sense of entitlement and encourages irresponsible spending. If you want something, especially money, you need to earn it. Apply for jobs that you're qualified for. Learn a trade that you're interested in, like electrical, auto mechanic, welding, HVAC maintenance, etc. Go to a collection center and donate (sell) plasma and/or sperm/eggs. Create and upload content on the internet for money. Invest what money you have into stocks. There's a thousand and one ways to make money. You just need the motivation.

Giving a portion of taxes to people that have zero interest in improving themselves or fixing their own problems isn't the solution. If anyone should be receiving money, it's people that are permanently disabled and physically and/or mentally cannot work. Not someone who went to college to be a [over-hyped/overpopulated career title] and is shit out of luck because they didn't research current career market saturation or someone who just sits at home smoking weed and playing video games all day because they have zero-minimal aptitude to do anything with their life..
