Universal Basic Income

Inflationary welfare scheme that's a lot of fun if you're a rich country that secretly wants to make it impossible for foreigners to even visit your country, like Switzerland. Then you can pretend it's about helping local poor people!

It's welfare for everyone
Which means the government will psychologically keep you as its private property

terrible meme with not a single fact to back it up

The current primary welfare recipients (niggers, white trash) are majority anti-government and break the law constantly, or too stupid to care about politics. Very few of them are "loyal sheep"

Well yes and that's why I support UBI. The current welfare is very inefficient, and instead of the state favoring minorities or fat people, everyone should simply be given an equal check and be told to go fuck himself and find his own food and healthcare from the private sector with the money. It's the most libertarian approach to solving the welfare issue (without removing welfare altogether) - you simply tax the people and then proceed to hand them back a portion of the tax. The handed out portion of their tax ("UBI") is instantly injected in the private sectors because they need to survive on it and spend it asap, making it an indirect subsidy to your economy.

Meanwhile, all of the inefficient state welfare infrastructure and bureaucracy is eliminated and privatized. You end up with a more libertarian nation while poverty is eliminated.

The more the government subsidizes our economy and invokes regulations then our quality of life along with the cost of living will deteriorate.

Example: Government starts handing out grants and loans for college. College becomes ridiculously expensive. If the government wants to sends kids to school then they should bring back state universities.

We need to return to an actual free market with low taxes, but that will never happen. The government is too far in debt. Some say federal income tax is a direct result of our growing debt.

Tl;dr government needs to stop meddling in the free market. Only thing they should enforce is workers' rights (excluding wages).

Your argument seems to be that the entire system fails due to two problem demographics that don't work in this system either. Should violent crime be a reason for exclusion from UBI or is that even further over-reaching?

That's a good point, but some projects (like scientific research) need to be government-subsidized to promote innovation. I agree on the college thing; if universities weren't guaranteed whatever price they stated by an educational system that funnels people directly to college regardless of qualification and a predatory gov't loan system, tuition would be much lower. But wouldn't the government incentivize lower prices if tuition was covered by taxes, too? Schools with unsatisfactory programs would get fewer students and thus lose funding. I think the current tuition problem is due to our government not picking a side and trying to sit on the fence and get paid. If it were out or we have free public university tuition, either one would be superior.

UBI doesn´t work
Negative Income Tax does
