Slavery exists today.

Rarely is it mentioned, Indians commonly enslaved other tribe members.

Why aren't they ostracized for this practice?

Slavery wasn't/isn't unique to whitey.

It's been around for eons.

Slavery was/is practiced by many, many other people than just white plantation owners.

Ugly fact, but there it is.

But, lets keep knocking the white race who eventually quit this loathsome practice.

A very small minority here want to tweak the un-twekable and then are certain unearned money will work out great for the recipients, you betcha...

Nope, it won't work as has been proven globally, but the slow keeping insisting if we only implement 'free money' properly, it'll be miraculous in it's scope of doing good.

Nope again.

What is that old say: Something along the lines of if you keep doing the same thing over and over, but continue to fail, but keep on doing it because one day you'll get the result you want...

There's a word for that kind of thinking.

It's called 'Stupidity!

If you get 'free money' for not working, isn't that a form of 'income inequality' if I can't have free money too?

Recall, Stockton is in...wait for it...california.

The communist state...where lefty insanity reigns supreme...

Finland tried it, failed and are or will very soon abandon the idea of paying people not to work.

Idiots!

wealth redistribution - a euphemism for robbery.

Yes, some see socialism as a good thing.

It isn't.

It's failed so many times that it's recognition as a halting, stumbling bankrupt idea (in all it forms) yet, some people are fooled into thinking: hey, it 'could work' if only implemented properly...

Wrong!

How many times does it have to ruin, often kill people and countries globally to finally be given the heave ho into the dustbin of history?

Yet, people keep dragging it's corpse up and decIare we can animate it into robust life.

You can't.

socialism is a fraud and always has been.

" A basic income may be the only answer."

I couldn't possibly disagree more!

This I agree with: "Seems like it would work, except, well its the government, so they would mess it up."

Not that I would agree even if the government did a good job of accommodating socialism.

Because it fails every time...see Venezuela for the latest example...

What?

No lottery tickets, crack or what have you?

This experiment will be a dismal failure, but when it goes off the rails, socialists will not mention it...

Yep, $500.00 a month - free, no restrictions on use.

Is it per person or family - beats me?

Where does the money come from - beats me?

What's the criteria to qualify for so-called free money - beats me?

Another doomed socialist idea...

Or do you think it a good idea?
