Barbara Bush being a racist is not an excuse to be asshole.

I don’t want to get into a race to the bottom. It’s a race Republicans are sure to win.

It’s in poor taste to go starting fights before she is even in the ground.

So if your business owner you get a tax increase on the order of the employees that salaries that are being paid in UBI. Why wouldn’t you just pay the employees the money directly and cut out the middle man?

it sounds like this...

I didn’t realize people around these parts were such big fans on the bailouts. Now they want to go around bailing out everyone.

So how much money have you invested in small businesses? You can put the money you want to pay in the form of higher taxes into a venture capital fund who helps small businesses grow. If you have some moral issue with making profit you can always donate that charity.

I pay in $500 in taxes, and I get $500 back. It’s inefficient, I could just keep the $500 to begin with.

So I but in $500 and I get $500 back, why don’t I just keep the $500 to begin with?

So your risk is socialized while you keep your potential rewards to yourself.

Am I not the only who thinks this a cyber attack by the Russians?

Poverty is not number. If poor people get a raise that is canceled out by inflation they are still poor.

Their need is going to increase after a rise in minimum wage because of inflation.

It’s a fair point, that corporations are using government welfare in place of fair wages. But its a bogus assertion that an artificially higher minimum wage will move people off welfare.

There is already a program to induce people to become doctors. It’s called a fat paycheck. You can not just create resources out of thin air. Which is essentially what you are proposing.

Sure, lets just whip up some up extra doctors out of thin air, but not just regular doctors, Omnipotent doctors who will work 24 hours a day, doctors that can instantaneously transport themselves to where ever there are sick people. Doctors that don’t have other patients, and Doctors that speak all of the languages.…

So they, along with of the other business running slim margins raise prices, either customers still buy their products at the higher prices and it causes inflation or they don’t, the businesses revenue tanks and everyone loses their job.

and those all of those gas stations will see a similar rise in wage expenses and it will lead to similar increase in price.

Businesses aren’t just going to accept smaller margins. they will just jack up prices to make up for the additional wage expense, hence inflation.

There aren’t an excess of doctors in the city. The problem is not solved by bribing doctors to treat rural patients instead of urban ones. The problem is solved by making more doctors in general, and there is not a magic bullet for that.
