GAY OMG Socialism!

The tax cut idea is better because then people still have an incentive to work.

Why would people lose the incentive to work?

Have you seen the mockery some groups in America make of the welfare system?

Honestly I have not.

Thinking about it from the top down, try bottom up. It would create a wage floor.

Do you even know what "welfare" is called in the US?

Or how to qualify for it.

No. Being homeless and unemployed for a year back in my early 30's, I have no idea.

Why would I have a fit? Obviously they can do whatever with their country.

IMO it's a bad idea though. Why pay people to just hang out? Seems doomed to fail.

Why do you think people only want to hang out?

Unless you had a kid you didn't qualify for TANF which is what most people cry about.

Dunno, if I suddenly started getting a 2400$/month check from the govt, Id just bank it and keep working.

Good, less inane commentary from you then. Win/win for me.

I saw it said "per adult"
So, will married couples get two checks?

Would make sense, no?

I feel the more financially comfortable a population is, the more likely they would venture into entrepreneurship. This could be great for the economy.

you want me to respond to this?

If everyone's lives are subsidized by government why would they do anything but hang out?

I feel like it would cause a ridiculous inflation of all prices. If minimum wage goes up to the ~$21/hr then (at least by my understanding) the prices of everything else would have to go up in turn. Right?

Because people want more from life than just staying in one place not doing anything?
