UBI is still a bad idea, and we're still 20T in debt with 150T in unfunded liabilities.

Go over to DU and Ask them. Except say "Tax" the occupied territories, instead of "Nuke" 'em.

Redistribute the federal funds for all sanctuary cities to everyone who actually paid taxes last year.

Well that's a wonderful way to combine the worst ideas of left wing and right wing political thought.
It always comes down to either bribing people or shoving guns in their faces it seems.

There is a precedent for this: Rome, both the Republic and the Empire.
Powerful Romans sought acclaim. The ultimate acclamation was the Triumph. We think of it as simply a parade through Rome, with cheering crowds. But the crowds were there, and cheering, because of the largesse distributed due to the Triumph. Rome, by the latter years of the Republic, had an enormous FSA population- several hundred thousand people, dependent on state welfare. They were alternately cultivated, feared, and used by factions of the Roman elite. There was a delicate balance between reward and repression. Much like today. The chief source of Triumphs was overseas conquest. |

Quoted:
Would liberals be in favor of a Universal Basic Income if the government forcefully confiscated it from other countries instead of from successful Americans? Say we glass the fuck out of places like Afghanistan, Iran and Iraq and then give every American a check for their portion of oil/rare-earth mineral revenue? I have a feeling liberals would be against that, but it's perfectly fine to steal money from your own citizens. but I like this idea. |

Is this the thread where we pretend UBI is not a libertarian idea backed by Nobel-winning conservative economists?

I've seen some who asserted that UBI would be more efficient than the current bloated administrative apparatus that manages and distributes the myriad welfare programs. However saying UBI might be better than the current state of things is not the same as UBI being a "libertarian idea". |

'Cause that's how you get the People's Republic of Haven.
