When people need essy money, they peddle drugs or prostitutes.

And people with cash to spare are often buyers. Coke and high class escorts/prostitutes is practically a status symbol.of.corporate and political power.

I just don't understand what that has to do with the thread topic

I believe in UBI/welfare for tax paying citizens, the mentally/physically disabled, and elderly/juvenile citizens. Nobody else besides that needs or deserves government benefits.

What is left to cover? I don't know what is left to cover based on the posts already made.

Start at a medium sized city. Offer a true UBI, not the stupid crap that offers $500 a month to unemployed.

The Fair Tax Plan offers this as part of the tax system. And I think it's great.

I think I agree with this. I cannot find fault with it which is usually a sign of a good point.

But if something like that can actually be use the proper way, and not be abuse by both the receivers and recevies, I won’t mind giving it a try.

Is it actually proven that the abusers are any kind of majority.

Serious question.

The opposite has been proven.

Fraud represents less than 1% of the users. Less than a billion dollars.

Often, "fraud" and "mispayments" are confused. They are not the same figures.

Fraud = bad person abusing the system
Mispayments = stupid shitty government not managing the system properly
