Elizabeth Warren out of race

[BrianSoddingBoru4]

We waste enough money in America on our military alone to prove that a UBI is totally doable. Whether or not it would be beneficial to those who would take it is the real question.

The real cost is wbrecking the very foundations of our economy by making poor people happier for a year or so.

Is it worth it?


...

When the people find that they can vote themselves money that will herald the end of the republic.

Benjamin Franklin

Then why hasn’t it?

edit: I looked it up. Franklin never said that. What he DID say were words to the effect that voters could dispose of public property (including money) in whatever manner they saw fit, including giving it to poor people. He went on to say that if a citizen didn’t like this sort of civil society, he could go and live with savages.
