In simple terms

if 100 percent of the people can agree to freely give away their money to be equally given to everyone. If you make more, those who make more will have more taken for those who need to have "basic income rights"

Over time this basic income right will continue to rise.

The line between Free and Force is no longer valid.

Free universal healthcare, Free universal income, this is force.

Force to pay in the coverage of the illusion of freedom.

Free will to give away your money "zucker" can either freely give his money way or buy harvard and convince students to use government force to make it happen.

Speak for yourself, I don't even like Doritos. Do you really think the hedge fund managers and dotcom billionaires are going to join the rabble on the public dole? Maybe they should 'means test' the Basic Income program to make sure no billionaires try to drop out on it. <smh> Of all the ways to try and show BI fails the one where "everybody will quit their six figure corporate job and take $1200K/mo and live in a trailer without hot and cold running water" is the total reductio ad absurdum. Try again. No... don't. Really. Don't bother. You don't get it. It's ok. One way or another, it will happen. When it is too late, but that is alright. None of use expects perfection.
