Everyone of an adult qualifying age gets the same universal basic income. From that you pay all your liabilities. No council tax rebate, no family support, no free rent, no married tax allowance, no income tax. 

I could live with that. As long as the tax on people who worked for a living did not increase.Sounds good in principle, would never work in reality. people have gotten far to used to allowing the government molly coddle them. Once the same dossers who currently live off of the Dole have blown their allocation they and all the bleeding hearts would demand more for them. Inevitably via green eyes and then through either an increase in tax on those who work of a reduction/removal of their UI.

You want 10 kids, no problem. If you find a house, and pay for it out of yr UBI (and what ever you do to top it up) good on ya. 

Would never happen. Far to many bleeding hearts out there. It could be argued its not the children's fault so they need taken care of financially and then bingo, the worse elements of the UK are breeding like rats again and coining it in.

 

 With so many currently being on furlough and receiving 80% of their previous wage everyone seems happy to doss about at home. Suddenly swathes of people are to scared to return to work, which is convenient as they have more free cash than ever.

 

Now clearly Im no economist but if the people of the UK are not producing anything how will taxes be raised? Its all well and good saying Robots will produce it all for us but I simply cant get my head around how that would work. If people are not earning a wage how can they buy anything? Surely inflation would go through the roof, it sounds utterly unsustainable. It also sounds like communist BS if Im honest.

basic economics - the intelligent people will justify taking nearly everything for themselves

 

history repeats - the thickos get sick of clever peoples brain power pushing them around, so they start murdering.

People say the communist revolutions failed - so what. The mere fact that revolutions happen at all means its part of our nature

 

The killing of Rasputin was the match which set fire to a vast heap of patriotic determination. Russia would deserve well of her Allies. She would give herself a chance.

The fire quickly spread, and ran from class to class, from caste to caste, from the civilians to the troops. It smouldered in Petrograd on Saturday, flamed up on Sunday, and became a conflagration yesterday. This morning I heard that its purpose had been achieved.

All the regiments in Petrograd have declared for the Duma and the people, and the Naval Barracks have been opened to enable the sailors to make common cause with the rest.
