I have been to Dallas. I was not impressed. It was weird seeing Texan stereotypes come to life. Men dressed as cowboys, and women with big hair and lots of make-up in 88 degree weather.
An Indian friend claims there's a lot of Indians somewhere in Texas. I forget where exactly.
But if this friend is any indication, I can totally see them dressing and acting like cowboy stereotypes.

No, giving people back their own money isn't socialism.
Not up for debate

The bottom 3 quintiles of household income already get a net benefit from the federal government. Only the top two quintiles of household income have a net surplus contribution to the government through their tax dollars.
Obviously, this is on average. There are likely exceptions in each quintile including the lowest one. It's definitely harder to be one of those surplus exceptions in the lowest quintile but I am not bold enough to claim all bottom quintile households are net-negatives.
Meaning, they are NOT getting their tax dollars back. They are getting bonuses on taxes they are already negative on.
This is simply incomone redistribution to the bottom three quintiles of income by household.
Funnily enough, Robtard is likely a tax-net-surplus household and has every right to prance, strut, and posture about this being income redistribution. He should be posting, "Socialism! How dare you! I earned this money!"
You should know by now not to waste graphs and shit on responses where I'm just trolling Rob lol.
He was clearly triggered and had to bump this thread, it had to be done.

Clearly, you were joking. Clearly, you'd take the position against income redistribution (I oppose opposition to income redistribution because I support a UBI*).
So my point would only serve to support you positions on this topic in any other context. Hence, the smartass tone in my reply and meme that I stole from you.
*I'd like to dive into this, further. I've been the poorest of poor as a kid. I know what it is like. And it seems any minor bump in the rode destroys your budget. You live frugally when you make $27K a year? Great, better not get sick, have house problems, or car problems. Because your entire budget is blown. It's just not the same being a low-income person, trying to climb the socio-economic ladder.
For that reason, I think we should oppose anyone or any entity that tries to make life harder for the poor but easier for the rich. I can afford bumps in the road. But my young parents could not. A UBI would create a safety net that would empower people to make better life choices. We'd have far less single mothers and the amount of repair NOT having single mothers could do for America would be tremendous.
Many of our problems can be traced backed to having kids raised in single parent homes.

How would a UBI reduce men from leaving their children? I could see where it would help single mothers support their children, but making Father's stay? I think there's more to that than money.
It's in the research results from the limited research we have on UBI's.
For some reason, it greatly reduces single motherhood (a major win), sends young men and young women to college significantly more (another major win), and - for some weird counterintuitive reason - it makes people work more often.
Here's a question I want researchers to resolve for me regarding true UBI's:
What about a true UBI causes people to work more often?
This group, here, is doing research on UBI in a meaningful way:
They discuss the pros and cons and publish their research.
1 problem: their study group is Kenya which is a far more poorer country than a place like Canada, the UK, Japan, or the US. These results may only be applicable to countries like Kenya where a UBI might be the difference between a college education and death (weird polar opposites).
