TC complains about taxes going to help those who need it through welfare programs and yet wants UBI to happen.


The problem here is that you don't know anything about UBI, as evidenced by your shitpost. Welfare and UBI are radically different.

But if you suddenly died or became disabled you couldn't provide for them. So f*** them right?


If I die, life insurance policy. If I become disabled, sizable long-term disability policy. And you're still ignoring the fact that our own family is more important than someone else's family.

I'm perfectly aware what UBI is. I just find it funny how you can so against paying taxes and yet want UBI which will likely require higher taxes to pay for.

Also last thing from me. I don't understand how these two statments can coexist:

at the expense of people not having kids they cant afford. if "muh childrenz" are gonna suffer because you can no longer ride on the back of singles and/or the childless, maybe you couldnt afford those kids.


meingott posted...
Hey man, maybe you're fine on your own but some of us have parents/siblings/cousins that need financial help.


If you have siblings and cousins that need financial help, shouldn't their parents NOT have had children they couldn't afford like you said? Or on the other hand shouldn't you be in favor of them getting the help they need through taxpayer money so the burden is less on you?

Facts and articles were brought directly to you and you reacted to them by telling stories about how you think things *should* be, completely ignoring how they *are*. When one side of an argument refuses to join the argument with legitimate opinions backed by research it's no longer a debate.

the people who work less, produce less, and have more kids than the rest.

I can't speak for other low-on-work-and-money people, but personally I see having kids as a financial impossibility. It seems like something that (absent of government support and/or just shit-poor living conditions) only the rich would be able to afford.

I say we pull the bandage off now and let the wound heal


just to be clear

when you remove the bandage, wounds don't heal. they fester, and then you die of gangrene.

Great response.

I have a bachelor's degree, and I hardly even had to try or go to class. It was so easy.

I had a similar situation with my Bachelor's, but later in life I now regret that I didn't try. I don't think I handled the whole college opportunity the way it was supposed to be handled.

Not if the rich first created robo-police to secure their power and keep the poor in situations resembling S1 Ep2 of Black Mirror (or wose, just let the poor die off without caring at all).

I'm a little worried at some point when the rich have enough technology to aid them that climate change and overpopulation will be "solved" by getting rid of the non-rich.

Means testing. A basic income that involves means-testing is just plain old welfare.

I'm not a fan of camping, but if you happen to be near Seattle I'm fine hanging out somewhere urban or semi-urban and discussing stuff.

Heck, we could even go hiking in one of our many areas call nature even though it's surrounded by semiurban sprawl.

They need to change the tax code so that if you have kids, you have to pay more in taxes...because YOUR kids are the ones who are sucking up the resources from school and stuff. It makes no sense. To each their own.


this is how you create poverty

go fuck yourself


It doesnt; it creates a declining population though.

If people who cant afford kids didnt have kids, there would not be an increase in poverty. The problem is that people have kids and don't realize the cost associated with them.

So you're saying the police won't come to my house and try to arrest me if I don't pay my taxes? And that if I try to defend myself they won't shoot me? Because that's not my understanding on how it works...


This is the truest truth that's ever been truthed.
