This is why we need UBI. So people like Andrew don't have to grift for patreon dollars in granny-scammer fashion.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7TYouR1adAw …

Patreon is a voluntary solution for patrons to support creators they appreciate. UBI is the government stealing money to pay losers to live in their mom's basement, playing video games and contributing nothing. They're not the same.

That last sentence is correct. UBI is a dividend payout for every American, and a good idea given that right economics has funneled all the economic gains to the top and gutted the middle/lower class. Patreon is a windfall for grifters like DRW.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XGBzpLHbZ8g …

I know how redistribution systems work. It's all fun & games until the wealthy flee, the economy collapses & you're eating your pets & zoo animals because the food ran out. Ask the Venezuelans how that worked. The upside to our economy is you can be a billionaire too!

Then you know the wealth has been redistributed upwards over the last 40 years and that the wealthy and corporations are taxed at record lows. Also, that "Venezuela" is a straw man argument that ignores actual policy.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZfDTqMLJRz0 …

Wealth goes where it's spent. Nobody has done anything wrong if a company offers a product for sale and someone voluntarily buys it. Why then steal from the honest business to give money to deadbeats?

So you acknowledge that the "Venezuela" comment is a straw man argument because the proper comparison would be places like Canada and Europe, where the middle class hasn't been entirely gutted, and you now want to call 78% of Americans deadbeats?https://www.forbes.com/sites/zackfriedman/2019/01/11/live-paycheck-to-paycheck-government-shutdown/#7b1f95f14f10 …

Venezuela is what you get when you handicap and drive out business, offer unrealistic entitlements, and tax everyone into oblivion. When UBI drives inflation, these stooges will try price fixing, which leads to massive shortages & we all starve as the dollar becomes valueless.

Venezuela is what you get with a developing nation that suffers from a long history of colonialism. The US has the lowest tax burden of pretty much any OECD country & the middle class lacks buying power. UBI would be plugging a hole in demand, not creating excess (no inflationpic.twitter.com/XUEger5cln

Most American's buying power is limited by their reliance on debt. If you spend within your means and grow your means, you success. If you borrow and your means track with your growing payments, you remain poor. It's pretty simple, actually. Gluttonous spending is the problem.

That all sounds nice but the fact is that middle and lower incomes are paying less and less relative to rising costs of living while the added gains of the economy go to the top 1%. It's just math.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5kwA-CwFK5A …
