The root cause in the US being income inequality. Less people want to spread the wealth and more people expect a version of wealth. UBI is not the blanket solution I think most are expecting. It will open a can of worms.
Give more people better opportunities. Folks don’t want a hand out.
Companies are too big and although do provide some benefits such as lower price in some cases we end up paying for it with lower wages and less opportunities for other entrepreneurs.

- dnndev 5y agoThank you. Your right. Pity is not what I intended. Pity is not a bad thing and I appreciate when others feel pity. *comment edited
- BigJono 5y agoHalf the problem with politics these days is that people still see welfare as "pity and a hand out". Welfare is one tool in a bag of economic tricks to keep a country prospering. A country without welfare is one that has most of it's smartest minds packing boxes in a factory somewhere because they can't afford to try and fail.
