PWN GOP Program Cuts with Mincome

[daredtowork]

Remember the idea of instantly eliminating poverty, hunger, homelessness, etc. through Mincome:

Guess what else that would eliminate:
- The stress (and perhaps mental illness) and physical illness induced by poverty and the monstrous, absurd, and often contradictory bureaucracies surrounding that.
- The costs and frauds of the middlemen of all the programs targeted to specific needs and all their specific "means-testing" and all their specific fraud investigators and all their separate opportunities for bureaucratic waste and graft. There would be no more "disability", "welfare", "unemployment", etc. - just how much is your current livelihood, and is that adequate? This would even replace roome/board for college.
- The restoration of dignity for thousands, if not millions, of people who would be endowed with autonomy and freedom of choice.
- A renaissance in rural America where the value of Mincome would be higher than a survival amount in urban areas.
- Congressional appropriation, debate, and thus grandstanding hijinks would be simplified and reduced a great deal.
- Policing and accountability would be reduced to who is a US citizen and eligible to receive Mincome.

If we don't want to see children go hungry, if we don't want to see homeless families, then we should literally put our money where are mouth is. Why are we giving $6000 every year to our Oligarch Overlords when we could be setting up a Mincome instead?

Well we all secretly know the reason: racism. White southerners vote against "redistribution" because they think it means urban blacks will get away with not working and brown "immigrants" will invade for the free money and obliterate the lily white race in a "genocide". This is the "truth" (or the truthiness) that gets suppress by the pressures of political correctness, and in a way it's unfortunate because it comes back to haunt us when the truthers vote our Oligarchic Overlords into political power.

There has to be a way to break this cycle, or at least break the boil and let the pus run out on this ugly suppressed conversation that has been inflaming political and economic inequality through the refusal of "redistribution" for decades now. This conversation is what blocks the idea of Mincome.

My other thought in terms of funding it is that the Mincome that goes to the wealthy would be 100% recoverable back into the general fund through terms of taxation.

For years the GOP have been terrorizing the poor with cuts that threaten them with homelessness and starvation at every turn. This one move - the Mincome - would PWN all those petty, cruel GOP moves that have gone before.

1. I guess people are just trying to make themselves look good

if they say they don't want people to go starve to death or remain homeless.

Silence is consent.
