UBI also isn't money for votes, its money regardless of votes. I can vote for UBI and lose more in taxes then I gain, and I can vote against it and still benefit. That sounds like about as non corrupt as it gets.
- aidenn0 7y agoI'm still not sure where I stand on UBI, but it's interesting that I've seen some economic liberals that are huge fans, other economic liberals that dismiss it as people "voting themselves money" and I've seen socialists that are huge fans of it and socialists that dismiss it as "an attempt by Capital to bribe the proletariat." Meanwhile most moderates I know seem to think it a pipe dream.
- kortilla 7y agoThe funny thing is that you’ve also described exactly how tax breaks and deregulation for industries works. Google got massive benefits of Trump being president despite not donating to him. A politician promising tax breaks for an industry is no different than a politician promising tax breaks for low income people.
