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.

I would pay 5 bucks a month to be able to edit a tweet within a 10 minute period after posting. Trump would be their first customer ;)

Just have them deduct it out of your UBI direct deposits.

Maybe no longer living in an economy where income starts at $0 would free Andrew up to no longer have to grift for Patreon dollars.

Yeah, when you take away economic incentive, quality suffers. Just compare Soviet cars to everyone else's.

Yeah, because $1,000/month is enough to just not work at all, especially in NYC! Nice straw man argument with the "Russia" implication. I haven't these old straw man arguments since 2008, when people on the right had no nuance whatsoever.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QPKKQnijnsM …
