Its not inertia, its the same thing that happened to the $75K minimum wage guy. US people HATE when someone less successful than them gets something "for free".
- TeMPOraL 11y agoNot just US. Ever tried to bring up the topic of Basic Income in Poland? "Why those lazy subhumans should get money for free?! They'll all become drunks, or will sit in front of TV all day, getting fat and bringing about the future from Idiocracy." This type of approach makes me sick.
- kuni-toko-tachi 11y agoIt's not "for free" it is free. No quotes. Every dollar taken out of their pocket to pay someone else's bills is less money they have to spend on their children's education and for taking time to travel, among other things. Generosity is a private choice and government has no business in making it public, except that it buys votes to empower politicians.
