$15/hr minimum wage, UBI, free college, canceling college loan debt & Medicare For All: they’re not government handouts; they’re economic justice. It’s government’s job to provide the average person with a fair shot at making it in what has become an economically merciless world.

Rs today live in a very different world than the rest of us. They will not see our world because they refuse to look. Rs are very much like their ancestors who owned slaves Rs see any gov program helping people as if slave owners being ask to care for slaves they no longer owned

But if some/all of those things doom SMBs in favor of massive corporations who donate to corrupt politicians, how economically just is it? Respectfully, it is not govt’s job to artificially create opportunity. Picking winners & losers is one of our biggest govt-created problems.

We should be very careful about UBI. Not because it isn't a great idea, in theory, but because it's vulnerable to subversion by cynical government and used to create a perpetual fascist society where freedom becomes the price of the income.

Ah yes, but you see the government wouldnt be providing this "economic justice". You're actually saying - "It's individuals responsibility to pay for UBI, free college for others, cancelling loan debt they might not have benefitted from & M4A which nationalizes healthcare"

None of these things are "economic justice". But this is a good reminder of how the democrats will attach buzz words like justice to anything and everything they do. This is why we push for Cash Reparations. Staying focused eliminates confusion and minimizes trickery.

People who took out student loans should take that up with the college. Many of which have very large endowments. They shouldn't charge top dollar for degrees that don't. I went to a tech school, paid off my $20k ahead of schedule. I'll make as much as many of these people.

You give me a universal basic income, and I will never work again. Not on the books at least.
