There's only one solution, give everyone free food/housing/healthcare/jobs. (Not just money, because that will just bid up the price of everything.)
If you're unemployed, vote for a stronger social safety net. That will not only yield free stuff for you, but also reduce the amount of hungry people competing with you for every job. Total no-brainer.
- e40 11y agoIf we also give people free money, in addition to paying for housing and healthcare, it will entice some people to not work, leaving the jobs market for people that want to work. Just imagine all those government jobs filled with people that don't really do anything.
- cousin_it 11y agoMy point exactly. There will be more businesses as well, because people will be less afraid to fail. Handouts are just a great idea in so many ways, I don't know how people can be against them in a capital-heavy economy with scarce jobs.
- e40 11y agoI know too many really good people that vote Republican solely because they hate it when people get something for nothing. Welfare the main thing that pissed them off. It's so hard to fathom, because many of these people are religious and are very caring people (with their time and money). I think the GOP has done a great PR job against BI.
