Expecting the modern American people to support any welfare system is a fairy tale. A large chunk of them will be too busy worrying about the possibility of even one undeserving person benefiting even if it means thousands starve to death.
- hn_submit 2mo agoSimilar to the uproar about Obamacare where the people with little or no coverage were protesting that it limited their choice of health care professionals? The right-wing will probably brand welfare and UBI "socialism" to defile it and the people on poverty row will be protesting that they don't want it because it will lead to higher-taxes. It's sad that the most vulnerable people are being duped into believing these malicious lies.
