You are all fucking retarded and during the Yang shilling people argued about this a lot.
There is no point in discussing with retards, reality doesn't matter to them, neither causes or consequences of problems.
You want to repeat whatever the jews are pushing at the moment (UBI, in this case) and replying to this crap will only fall in a infinite loop.
Red pill me on why UBI is a bad thing

Reduced Ubi for children drops it to about 3.2 trillion. VAT introduced everywhere means no tax free bullshit. Taxation throughout the distribution system, not just the end sale. This makes Amazon and other distributors actually contribute to taxes.
Will there be some inflation? Sure. Will it outpace the increased income for anyone earning 100k single or 200k as a couple? No. UBI increases the amount of money changing hands, the number of hands touching it, and the speed at which it does. Those are all traits of a healthy economy. In fact, whenever we face a depression a form of ubi is prescribed as the solution and lauded for its effectiveness.
We all know the real inflation comes from the 15/16 of the 4 trillion going to wall street bailouts instead of the 1/16 for trump bucks. No VAT to recoup some of the cost with bailouts.
It will also raise taxes, but again you need to be earning more than 100k single or 200k joint to even be close to having the extra 12k or 24k eaten by a combo of taxes and inflation. Literally only a positive for 93%+ of the nation.

UBI+VAT is primarily a tax on businesses to redistribute profits to consumers. Businesses eat a marginal amount of the tax rather than passthrough the full amount to the consumer (not inflation, tax increase). They eat this because of competition. They can afford to slim their margins because 250+ million consumers have a guaranteed increased 1k to spend. Selling a higher volume is all but guaranteed in this scenario.
The opposition is because:
1. The inflation is actually healthy for the little guys. It devalues the extreme wealth of the elite. 1 billion usd undergoing 5% inflation is a 50 million loss offset with a 12k pittance. 100k usd at 5% inflation is a 5k loss with 12k increase to offset.
2. It will shake up wall street. Establishing a new game that rewards higher volume and slimmer margins will create a scramble for many old business models to reinvent the wheel
3. It will gateway to further socialized government programs like universal healthcare and kill for profit middlemen in the insurance industry

Find me the 3.2 trillion combined in cuts and tax increases (and dont forget to account for capital flight)

UBI is fine if it is linked to educational programs/ new forms of work based on learning how to become more integrated into society.
It has zero benefit if it is just free money - that is silly and will only cause harm.
Jackson Hill
it isn't
The faggots in charge want you to believe:
a) "we can't afford it"
b) "it would make people lazy"
both are bullshit
The top 1% in each country can singlehandedly feed the entire world
Current money distribution is fucking ridiculous, we have celebrities, athletes and politicians who enjoy ridiculous pay, meanwhile a person who works their ass off doing 2 low-tier jobs can just barely make ends meet (especially if they're in debt)
As for the laziness part, it can easily be dismissed by having restrictions.
UBI is an ideal for a nationalistic system
It would keep countless people happy, and would boost the economy as
The only thing you need to have a working UBI is restrictions, for example:
No money for lawbreakers, alcoholics or drug addicts
No money for people with too much money
No money for illegal immigrants
Basically, as long as UBI isn't abusable, it can't go wrong.
You only need to enforce the restrictions.
Good reasons for UBI:
>boosted health of citizens
more money and time means people can afford to eat better and spend on gyms and healthcare. Less stress and more choice will also directly affect the amount of mental illnesses and suicide rates.
>happier citizens
more free time and wealth is a better situation no matter how you look at it, people can afford to do more recreational activity and exercise, meaning their motivation and work efficiency should also be increased
>improved economy
more people can afford to buy and invest, meaning that as people have more to spend, the money will be circulating instead of sitting in some multibillionaires bank account.
>less overloaded medical staff
healthier people don't need as much care, and increased income allows more people access to private medical services

You've told me you're lying and I don't even have to waste the effort of reading your post! Thanks!

You stupid fuck, relying on some nanny government for your food and housing makes you a slave.
