Even if he were into drugs, that would be better than Hunter taking millions from Ukraine every year and using it to fuel his meth habit. Did you see the pictures of his meth'ed up teeth a few years ago as he was sitting in the dentist chair, waiting to have them replaced? His teeth were gone in a matter of MONTHS.
LOL fag, you post shit like that as AC because otherwise you'd get sued for slander.
Meanwhile who calls you out for your 12-pack-a-day Keystone Light habit, or busts you for sexually abusing your neice?
The obvious outcome of any real UBI program is... inflation by exactly the UBI quantity. So why is not the FIRST thing any UBI program proponent explain how is it that it won't happen?
There is a way to keep it from happening, but it isn't very popular: 95% income taxes on the top 5% of earners.
It isn't popular because it's non-workable, communist, and evil.
When did it become moral to steal by consensus? Any system of taxation that levels more than 50% is slavery. I mean that quite literally. If you reap less of the "fruits of your labor" than the government, that's slavery. Just because a bunch of assholes all got together and "agreed" to take your shit doesn't make them any less of a bunch of thieves.
I'll meet you halfway, man. We can discuss appropriate levels of taxation right up to 50.00%. Not a penny more though.
JK Rowling wrote some books.. She didn't exploit anyone to make her billions. She wrote books and signed movie deals.. Who the hell are you to demand she give up 95% of that? She earned it legally, morally, and ethically.
Why the hell should a government, that we know pisses away money, be entitled to more than half of her income?
It's really hard to remain calm and rationale when shit like this is being bandied about as if it's some sort of solution.
Why don't you just be honest with yourself and everyone else and say you favor these types of taxes because they're punishment against people you don't like. i.e people with lots of money or, as I suspect you'd describe them, people with "too much money".
Always some leftist so damn sure he/she has got it all figured out. Damned with history. Your system will get it right without the death of millions. Such hubris...
That top 5% is a moving fucking target. Once you drain the top 5%, then you move down to the next 5%. Then down again.. Eventually everybody is the same, and that's your real target.
It worked in Worgl, Austria where they used taxes from expiring local currency to fund the government. Although that was 120% taxes, annually, on the UBI itself.
"It isn't popular because it's non-workable, communist, and evil. "
YES, EXACTLY THAT!
And History does nothing but make that fact clear.
That's why History books point USA as one of the most ineffective, communist and evilesque countries of the world in the 1936-63 period when its max marginal tax was 80% or over.
"Any system of taxation that levels more than 50% is slavery"
Also a big fat truth. No wonder countries like France, Finland, The Netherlands, Belgium, Austria, Denmark, Japan or Sweden, are renowned

Seriously? You're gonna cherry pick a 25 year time range? Those were the years the US was the greatest? Get the fuck out of here with that bullshit... That's one of the stupidest and most worthless comebacks I've seen in a long time. Zero stats to back up your statement. ZERO. No "unemployement was at it's lowest levels" or "personal happiness was the highest during those years". Something? No... Nothing. You just pull a date range out of your ass as if it's some sort of "evidence".
No wonder countries like France, Finland, The Netherlands, Belgium, Austria, Denmark, Japan or Sweden, are renowned slavery hells, as they all have max marginal taxation above 50%.
