This is probably what worries me the most. We get an extra $1000 that means that price of many things will go up. Not to mention, landlords will start raising the prices of rent, probably... I could definitely see my shitty landlord making me pay and extra couple hundred bucks for this shitty house. Maybe even an extrs thousand. Either way, she'll try to steal my extra money, if I got it... Except I need that extra money to pay for all the stuff that will go up in price...

Doesn't that depend on where you live? Though, even in a cheap area like I'm in, I don't think that's enough...


From my understanding it is illegal to drastically increase rent. If anything I am sure yang, states, cities, counties etc will control the rent price hikes. Not everything is gonna magically surge in inflation. Why increase your prices when you can sell more products at a slight 10% increase do to VAT? Personally it doens't make sense to increase the price of everything so high that people will be right back where they started. Also the VAT tax is mainly put into place so companies like amazon, goodle, and facebook will be forced to pay their taxes. Not to mention data sharing and autommated trucks will be charged as well. It will not be gloom and doom and is a much better option then bernie's forced minimum wage increase.

It doesn't have to be drastic at all. It can be $25, $50, or $100 each year. You can already up prices when needed to. And a little each year is probably pretty legal, tbh. And that's if you sell more. Who's to say you're going to sell ore just because people have more money. People that need that money will probably use it on bills before spending it frivolously. 78% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck. So, they might not buy more stuff because they have a little extra each month. And why not raise prices? You know people will have the funds for it... Not to mention, those companies have to make back the money they are losing... And you act like they care if we go back to where we started. They probably don't. As long as they are making money, people could care less if the rest of the country is in the same boat as before... And I'm not big on automated stuff, anyway. I'd get rid of it if I could, tbh... The only real difference between this and raising minimum wage is this could affect everybody. Though, people who probably need it (like people already getting government assistance) won't be able to get it without getting rid of whatever assistance they already have, so...
