![]() HAIL HYDRA Level: 6 CS Original | what site? What is going on? In all honesty, I think there are variables that aren't controlled well in the proposal. The existence of competitive global trade hinders total control over domestic economic conditions as evidenced by the problems experienced by the ISI economies of Latin America throughout the mid to late twentieth century. Even if, in a utopian world, one could create sustainable basic income policies, the global inequities as well as contingencies of non-economic happenings will always jeopardize the system.. | |||||

![]() Level: 0 CS Original | I am not a troll! In all seriousness, I think TZM is a joke. But that does not mean I think all ideas to improve the world are a joke. I do think the website I listed is a good idea and will improve the world. I am willing to have a serious discussion about that plan's merits. But I am also willing to have a not-so-serious discussion about it. All I want to do here is just contribute a couple of lols. | |||||

![]() Level: 0 CS Original | Yes. But the federal govt no longer has to do most of what it does (you eliminate the need for social security, medicaid, medicare and welfare). So after you subtract those services, the govt can continue all of its remaining programs on about $1 trillion which you can raise with a 4% income tax plus its existing user fees, tariffs and excise taxes. Keep in mind this does not affect state taxes and states services. If you go to demandthegoodlife.com/plan-wealth.asp the second half of the page explains how the dividend is calculated and how government is funded. | |||||

They don't come from people like you, they come from people with utopian ideas. // That utopian shit only exists on the internet.
