I am a hard right winger but Andrew Yang's $1000 a month basic income idea holds some appeal to me. What I like about it is that unlike every other handout program it does not descriminate against those without children. In our current system if you have kids you are not only protected from destitution you very likely can get a bonanza of cash and prizes from the U.S government. If you don't have kids (or have adult children) you pay into this system but if you ever need help you are on your own buddy...you can dive down into homeless and no one would care. This system is terrible and no one can guilt me into thinking otherwise. God bless you Andrew Yang.
I just saw that there was a study showing that people participating in the program were happier and healthier.
I have been in the work force continuously since I was a teenager in 1983...36 years of working every single day. I do not appreciate your wrong assumption. Many of my views are not related to my personal situation. I will report you right now, your response is unacceptable.
By the way, trying to neutralize your supposed viewpoints to appeal to the opposition doesn't make you intellectual or reasoned. It makes you disingenuous, gutless, and fickle. Stand behind what you believe or go hide in a corner.
Every assumption you made about me is wrong. I am further to the right than every Republican politician in office today.

You sound like a typical hard right winger. Wanting government to run your life. Why work when you can get paid not too?
I think parents should teach their kids to not work for things and to not be proud of accomplishments. It's much, much better to be a loser and rely on handouts.
And one more thing, your absurd notion that it isn't like any other handouts is just that absurd. It's a handout, period.

UBI is fine as long as it allows people without children to partake?
You encourage people to do nothing when you guarantee money regardless. Horrible idea. Does not matter if they have kids or not. You need to switch and be a liberal democrat. Because that is what you are.
