    But we're not talking about beggars. We're talking about disadvantaged people being helped so that they have more opportunities, like people born into better circumstances had.
    You are promoting UBI and that is nothing more than a social program.

    If they're expecting others to help them financially, they're beggars.

    By beggars, I figured you meant people who beg for money because they refuse to work.
    Whether or not working people are expecting others to help them is besides the point. UBI would be beneficial for the economy. Which do you care about more, helping improve America, or keeping poor people poor?

    UBI only enables beggars to be beggars. Not enabling such people is helping America. The beggars can either start doing for themselves or do without. If they choose the former, they're no longer beggars being enable to be beggars. If they choose the latter, eventually, they won't be a problem because they wither away.

    As for keeping poor people poor, their choices do that for them.

    So I've got a proposal. Whenever someone says they want their taxes to be raised, ask them how much they are willing to pay, and ask for proof that they've led by example.

    And if you want increased military, infrastructure, and border spending, you should send in your check first to lead by example.

    My taxes are sufficient for those constitutionally-mandated forms of government spending, fuck-face.
