UBI can work. You just have to end all other forms of welfare, and make citizenship a requirement. It’s actua the most “fair” form of welfare since everyone benefits. That’s completely the opposite of the welfare system today where mostly niggers and illegals get the gibs and Whitey has to pay for it.
thats all the D party has to run on now. "please elect us we will give you white taxpayers dollars plz elect us".
its a deathrattle.
Imagine there's a pie in the oven and the guy baking it makes 4 tickets to represent that pie. Each ticket is worth 1/4 of the pie and you have 1 of the four tickets.
The guy then decides to create 4 more tickets so that a bunch of other people can get a slice of pie. You now own 1/8 tickets, meaning your slice of the pie shrunk as new tickets were made.
The UBI being discussed would cost more than all current government spending combined in the US. The only way of making the Math work out is by printing a fuckton of money, leading to hyperinflation.
We need workfare not welfare. People with even a small amount of money and no purpose are fucking dangerous
>UBI can work. You just have to end all other forms of welfare, and make citizenship a requirement.
No you just have to replace the current monetary policy with one that only creates new money by the UBI distribution.
You can keep other social services and clearly citizenship is already a requirement if you aren't insane.

But now instead of making 4 extra tickets you only make the 4 new ones after a new pie was made. Also you don't have to pay back the ticket creator 5 tickets for every 4 tickets he makes.

How can it work when UBI recipients start to spew 5 children each? Are they going to claim for more than 1k? How's the yangfag keep the pyramid going when he can't afford to pay 1k per person anymore? Don't you yangfags see the consequences when people lose motivation to do anything besides living and
spending money? Tip: memezuela.
Is that picture real?
Cost of everything rises by percent equal or greater than whatever UBI you implement, voiding it outright and possibly making it worse.
What effect did giving them unearned free shit have on the black community of the 1950's?
What effect has it had on Alaska?
You don't understand... If the prices double, they just print more money... It's magic! It worked flawlessly in Zimbabwe and Venezuela, am I right?
Because you won't seal shut your borders and shoot to kill anyone who tries to cross them. If you thought your welfare state was causing uncontrolled immigration, just wait and watch the first nation to implement UBI and three quarters of Africa and Asia wash up on their shores the very next day.
You can have a welfare state OR open borders, chaps, not both. UBI at $1000/mo is worth $100,000 a month in a thrid world shithole, and they will stop at nothing to slap their hand on your soil to claim it.
also this. so much this. It can work, so long as the ruthless enforce it.
this this this this this
No socialist policy can work with a low IQ population. Let alone an infinitely increasing one.
>clearly citizenship is already a requirement
For some things. But public school, for example, does not require citizenship. Also, Bernie's medicare for all bullshit does not have a SSN requirement.
>How can it work when UBI recipients start to spew 5 children each?
You mean like the current system? Where Whitey is paying for Maria and her 50 diabetic kids and then told we need to import more to pay for the ponzi scheme? What about Sheronda and her 4 kids from 4 different men named Jamal? She is getting paid to have kids. We don't see Whites doing this. In fact, the only welfare program wherein Whites are statistically represented, is SNAP. Meaning that our race is too proud to accept handouts until we can't afford to eat. We need to construct public policy that encourages Whites to breed, otherwise, we will continue to be replaced.
Reservations in the lower 48 look exactly like Alaska
Show me a consumption tax that doesn't reduce consumption and how people will be paying less into it than they get out
Because UBI doesn't work. It's literally been tried everywhere and only ever results in epic failure.
You work or you starve. That is God's rule, not mine.
Money to Israel just works.
Money to white working Americans does NOT.
Why should I have to play the game for 30 years before I can have a piece of land to be a sustenance farmer?
>Can someone explain to a simple man why Andrew Yang's UBI plans won't work?
Hes not willing to fire the millions of useless government employees to fix the taxes going to simple "administrative" costs
>to be a sustenance farmer?
The ultimate greed. You do realize you can also grow things other people might like to eat, and they will in fact pay you money for those things. Don't you?
idk man, I make so many zucchini every year I can't give them away fast enough.
Lowers incentive to work and does at least 1 of two things:
1. damages the economy by taxing high enough to pay for the program
2. destroys the credit rating of the us by exploding an already enormous debt, decreasing investment until the ponzi scheme that is the american economy collapses and the govt. defaults on it's debt
Yang lies about the numbers when he explains how it will be paid for. A particularly interesting part of his plan is to implement a federal value added tax, which is a consumption tax. 90% of federal tax revenues are income taxes. States accrue tax revenues mainly from consumption taxes like sales tax. This means that you will either 1. pay federal and state/local consumption taxes on everything you buy or 2. states will lower or not charge consumption taxes. If 2. then states will not be able to fund public ventures, and the responsibilities of state governments will move to the federal government, which will grow it's debt even larger in order to pay for new federal programs to solve state level issues.
As with almost all government intervention in the economy, it doesn't work.

As long as they actually tax people instead of printing money, it would work fine. That may require you to get less than the $1000 a month, just like Trumptards are getting no wall and what they are getting Mexico isn't paying for a peso of.
Basically, it's an old idea that was thrown around by lolbertarians like Milton Friedman, and you can just look at the stuff written before anyone heard of Yang.
The US cant afford UBI though, because we pay for all the defense of Israel and NATO. It's why the US usually cant afford stuff.
have free gimmies helped niggers and white trash improve their life over the last 50 years? Oh it hasnt? It made their neighborhoods worse? Oh ok nvm
We should try giving free gimmies to working / rich people then.
As long as the brown people and single mothers get their free money all is good.
