        I think you are wrong. 1st, $5000 will not do it. It has to be at least $40,000 a year and that will put a dent in it.

        It is not supposed to solve poverty issue but help economy as a whole gain more traction. AND to level the playing field a little

        @ThatWrongLove Interesting, but ignores many advantages of basic income.

        Eg the way a basic income scheme would mean gov't could no longer bully job seekers & people too ill to work.

        There's a word for a system like that. What was it? ...Oh yeah. Communism. Ask the Russians how that worked for them. Or Venezuela

        Raise the minimum wage or improve healtcare and businesses lay people off. Businesses will punish the people before losing money.

        I think the larger issue is a lack of financial literacy, a critical life skill that isn't taught in all schools.

        no, it won't solve poverty, but it will surely ameliorate it.

        Poverty will always exist because it is defined as the lowest 15-20% of people on the income scale.

        Exterminate the banksters who shamelessly siphon the wealth of the our countries causing endless misery might be a better idea!
