Why should I pay for someone else to sit at home and smoke pot.

Because millions of welfare queens depend on it.

who are the folks that earned a billion $ and paid almost no taxes? Who are the folks that are worth a billion and pay almost no income taxes?

Why did FedEx not pay any US Federal Income Tax?

Is welfare getting ANY help, or getting more help in return than you give (ie, net taker)?

Some still not working. I’m broke helping all the family as I was essential. They need to give it back to me. But it will get spent and some rich dude will buy another yacht.

I am in a mom's group on FB and so many were saying how they make more sitting at home than they do working. I was so angry at that.
There is money out there to be made, it makes me sad seeing all the help wanted signs.

Like I said earlier, if they give me this extra a month, it will go directly toward my kids accounts after I find out I don't have to pay it back. It will go towards stuff for their college or future endevors.

Considering what America’s children have gone through the past year , and what they are facing in the future, good idea. Their parents will need all the help they can get.

Consider it restitution.

If we do go to some form of UBI, it should be universal.

You shouldn't.

But I shouldn't have to pay for someone to blow the head off of an 8-year-old in Demascus.

It's a consistency thing.
