Feel free to stay. And welcome.

It is recurring testimony to your fraud.

Others need... you have... in abundance...

FAR more than you need..

Hell... you even have a computer.

What an inequity... what a horrific injustice that you should have a computer while others must go without.

Why won't you remedy this injustice?

Why are you so selfish?

Sorry to come back to your question late. I personally fall pretty much in the Andrew Yang vein of thinking, except I believe much more in Medicare for All than he does. I believe we need to incorporate a VAT tax along with a UBI. I don't believe in a wealth tax. I think that starting with a UBI that is slightly below poverty level, it would ease the insecurity of many Americans when it comes to month to month things. It would spur innovation by allowing more people to take chances knowing they have somewhat of a safety blanket. You wouldn't need nearly the amount of programs that we have right now that people are dependent on.

M4A is simple for me. The country would save money overall and healthcare just shouldn't be tied to jobs.

What is VAT and M4A? This is a subject I'm not well versed on clearly. I enjoyed Yang on Rogan's podcast, very insightful. With ubi, couldn't everyone just mark up prices? Just like how people discuss the raise of minimum wage would cause products to cost more for consumers?

lol it would be a very futile effort as I can't fix everyone's problems. I try, but I cant. So the next best thing is to vote far left so that far more people would benefit as opposed to just me doing what I can do.

Also, having a computer in order to work is considered living in unnecessary abundance?

Sorry,

VAT = Value Added Tax
M4A = Medicare for all

A UBI is actually still very capitalistic in nature. I personally don't believe prices would go up because 1. It hasn't happened in other trialed place and 2. Price competition/price sensitivity is still very much at play. There will always be AT LEAST 1 person willing to offer lower prices in order to reap the benefits.
