Guarantee all Americans an income

How much is one trillion divided by 300 million? I ran out of appendages trying to do the math.
Or "earned income credit"
Or "food stamps"
Or "subsidized housing"
Or "free school lunch"
Or .....
not my point at all. I want to know how giving people money who don't have jobs is different from giving people money who don't have jobs.
ya'll tell me when you get frustrated enough to vote me in as benevolent dictator, until then i'll keep dreaming of the day when we can actually solve the problem.
Well, I think everyone should just QUIT their job! Then, everyone could sit on their can like those already doing it. Seebell, are you already sitting on your can receiving redistributed funds? The only incentive people need is to want to sit on their cans and receive more redistributed wealth than other people. That's not fair!
Wait! Who's going to be TAXED to fund everyone getting paid to sit on their cans?
We could end up with the weakest military in the world if they get to sit on their cans and receive the DOLE also!
Who will make up the Elite of those receiving redistributed wealth that used to exist?
So, if no one works and no one is productive and no one has any wealth, how are we going to receive equitably the dole?
No one should be GUARANTEED anything unless they first get off their lazy cans!
It would be interesting to note the militaries of the countries currently with some form of minimum income guarantee.
If all other social welfare programs are disbanded and de-funded, I'd consider this idea. If people get a small cash payment, they're responsible for their own well being.
In the real world, people will still make bad decisions and those in poverty would likely remain there unless they change their work ethic. Once they get this payment, they'd ask for more since they'll fail to act responsibly. It won't change the living conditions of those content to sit back and live off the government.
His example of Brazil is terrible considering the stunning poverty level of an "industrialized" nation.

Look a little closer and you'll see that Liberalism and Communism are one in the same. Semantics, maybe, but still the same. Then look at each and every piece of legislation, etc., proposed by a Liberal and you'll see that it is designed to push a Communist agenda.
Despite what they might think, believing the government should have any role in taking from one to give to another isn't libertarian.
On the scale of ideologies, communism occupies the far left side, so it makes sense that some overlaps exists with liberal ideals. Much like fascism is generally placed on the far-right of the scale.
