Then you wouldn't be able to replace welfare. because their kids aren't 18. I'd say limit the payout to the bottom 10-20% in continuous graduations to eliminate any fiscal cliff.
- Aloha 9y agono fiscal cliff at all - you'd get the same 1k a month if you made $0 a year, or $150k a year. I'd consider leaving intact WIC, because I look a a GMI mostly as a replacement for minimum wage. I'd pay for it with a financial transactions tax (something minuscule like .001 cents on the dollar for any money transfer, and a VAT.
- gnarbarian 9y agono dice, I don't want my taxes to increase by 3k so the government can give me back 1k.
- Aloha 9y agoSo say the government gives you 12k a year, and your taxes go up by 10k a year, wouldn't that still be beneficial to you? Something like 30-40% of this program could be paid for by feeding in dollars existing programs, the lions share of the rest of it from the financial transactions tax (sucks if your business is high frequency trading), and a smaller portion from a VAT.
