Reply #7: A guaranteed annual income? [View All]

[youngdem]

What the fuck?

What a stupid idea. How about you work for a living?

You cannot have a guaranteed minimum income because it would remove the incentive to work for the bottom. STUPID IDEA. STUPID. Fantasy land. Crazy talk. This is welfare on steroids, and our current welfare system traps people in poverty - imagine what this silliness would do, if we could afford it (which we could never)

And getting rid of voter registration? How in the hell would you ever know if you have massive voter fraud or not if you don't know how many voters there are in each district? You are just asking for MASSIVE voter fraud that would be IMPOSSIBLE to detect. That is just a stupid overreaction to the voter ID laws being pushed, and shows that Gravel thinks NOTHING through. How's about we have voter registration, but make simple ID cards (not driver's licenses) FREE in all states, that way we can have voter registration, insure the person voting is the person voting, and NOT have an effective Poll Tax or impediment to the poor voting? Nah, that makes too much sense. Let's just pass a law saying you can vote as many times as you want....that makes much more sense :eyes:

Otherwise, he's just a cute optimist with early stage dementia and no grounding in reality...but on the guaranteed wages, voting registration (and on the ad where he stares into the camera for a full minute), he's a bona fide moron.
