Periodically someone comes up with the brilliant "new" idea of a "Minimum" guaranteed income and Mark Zuckerberg is its latest proponent. However, the "MINCOME" is not what you probably imagine. The concept is to eliminate all of the current welfare programs (including income, food, housing, and healthcare) and then give all American adults a somewhere around $1500 a month. For most of America's poor, this would be a substantial cut in pay, while the rest of us we would gain a monthly check, but end up paying much more in taxes to cover it.

I have a farm that meets most of my needs. My wife and I can take care of ourselves, pay our property taxes, and buy what we don't produce ourselves. The rest of you can figure out how to feed yourselves. So I am in.
If it comes down to a government handout or death, I CHOOSE DEATH. Now I'm going to go slam the truck door on my hand for typing that un-American first paragraph. Even though I was joking, feel free to kick me in the shins if we should ever meet.
Hey I said SHINS.

It is very interesting. Of course $1,500 is only the starting point. I might entertain if I knew the hidden agenda which we all* know this is about buying votes for the Democrats. So, I propose an addition and lets do it on the grounds that anyone accepting a payment looses the ability to vote in any election. Surely the Democrats can compromise in order to ensure the poor are taken care of. If not, we know this is not about taking care of those that did not win life's lottery but about buying votes on the backs of the producers.

Wow... promoting this at the same time that the Democrats are being sued by the protesters for $15 minimum wage, for paying less than $15 per hour! That is stuff you can't make up..

If he's so concerned, why isn't he out on the closest street corner writing checks?
