They’d argue that you’re gonna have to tax people unfairly, the government is inefficient at spending or like people won’t work if I had to guess

where’s the study about how once people no longer have to worry about the basic necessities, they’re actually more productive rather than less

Exactly. I’m not saying communism and socialism is what we need, but it’s pretty clear how progressive economics will help this country

Well, good thing America has a progressive tax system (Only income above the tax bracket threshold is taxed at a higher rate. If the bracket starts at $10,000 and you make $10,100, $9,999 is taxed at the lower bracket and only $101 is taxed at a higher rate). Government is already inefficient (look at the ICE budget). Canada UBI experiment and while there’s always a slim minority that abuses a system, the vast majority actually needs it, it’s all about incentivizing work like the EITC does
