Republicans really believe in guaranteed minimum income
FOUR of their last six presidential candidates have been trust fund babies:
Papa Bush
Baby Bush
Mitt Romney
The Donald Trump
Not that I have anything against trust fund babies per se.
One of, if not our very best presidents, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, was a trust fund baby.
So if an opulent guaranteed for life income didn't make them lazy and aimless (apart from Baby Bush), why would a far more modest guaranteed minimum income make working and middle class people shiftless loafers?
