| Agreed. People love socialism so much until they live inside a socialist country. They believe the mantra you will be able to receive without giving, everybody doing what they love, how better it will be spending time doing music or whatever you love doing. UBI is only possible if you have taxes way higher than social-democracies in Europe with the current economy we have. The reality is that the economy will tank with UBI and taxes would be higher and higher. Productive people like me will instantly move to a free country where UBI is not applied. That is where Universal in U comes. They want to force the entire world doing that, so people productive can't escape. It is nothing new, it was done by the first Christians or communists promising the lala land. In Russia they promised people will do whatever they wanted with their time after people give in. In reality the moment it was applied in Russia, forced labor was applied, and they took all your money and a terrible dictatorship followed. In the first Christian communities, they will take all your money first, as you had to sell everything you had for entering the community. Then as St Paul said, the one that does not work does not eat, from the money they had already taken from you. The experiment has been repeated so many times in the past only people that ignore History would love to repeat it. Right now, UBI idea comes from the financial elite. They want all your wealth, your autonomy and the power that comes from it. |
