'You know if #Peters, #Seymour and the #Tax Payers #Union are panting hysterically about any #policy that they claim is the end of the world as we know it ... then whoever is making them clutch their pearls ... and act in a most agitated manner has raised something that the people they represent want strangled at birth.
These people do not represent "the people" and definitely not fairness and equality, they represent maintaining a system that rewards the owners of #Capital that benefit from #labour and #business #owners being taxed to #subsidize the lack of #capital gains, #land and #inheritance tax that they refuse to pay.
Calling the #Greens #communists is factually wrong and laughable but the fact they have reacted so #hysterically to the Greens proposed tax #policies, which would force their masters to pay tax (at all) is telling and all fair minded people should support the Greens because of this, otherwise tax #reform in #NZ will not happen.

"Downtowns and modest old neighborhoods often subsidize sprawling, wealthy #suburbs that don't come close to covering their own costs. In many cases, the poor #subsidize the rich, and it's by design. This video examines how we got here, why the bill is now coming due." US analysis, but it's here in #yeg too. Thanks for the lead, @michaeljanz.bsky.social

Any farmer who wants a communist-socialist cash payout must agree to quit the anti-socialist GOP and join the DSA Democratic Socialists of America at minimum $10/ month for 5 years ($600, far less than they'll get in subsidies). Walk the walk, y'all...

POLITICO: These #Republicans have a lot to lose if Congress cuts #Medicaid
( Nationally 24 percent of #Americans have Medicaid. This is a VERY cruel thing to do so they can #subsidize double amounts of the Medicaid cuts as #taxcuts for the #rich)

For my American friend I think it should be clear.
The #US does not #subsidize #Canada. You buy stuff from us. We buy stuff from you.
It’s called #trade.

I responded to another with more details, but maybe that didn't make it to your instance.
"No need to do anything" - so most people will contribute (work/taxes, or create art, or volunteer in the community, etc), and those #productive people will see their effort go to #subsidize others who do nothing productive at all. Demonstrably #unfair, and will definitely cause #conflict.
It's unworkable. We need an answer to this question to evaluate any UBI scheme.

Are we just supposed to write it off as "Some people will #freeload, and the rest will just have to pay to #subsidize them without having any say about it"?
Or is there another answer? If so, what is it? If it's "shut up and pay for their sloth", how do you justify that #morally, or #practically? It's bound to create #conflict.

| Take a look at this info-graphic. The disparity is absurd, and the 99% does need a raise. But while we're fighting for 15, we need to look beyond raising the minimum wage…

If you have #cable, you #subsidize #FOX. You're basically paying for FOX like it's a premium channel, like HBO, even if you don't watch it.

#Americans are being taxed (#taxes can be fair; US aren't) but get very little back.
Instead of taxes paying for #healthcare, we pay out of pocket (even with #insurance).
Instead of subsidized #childcare, we pay >50% of income. #care workers aren't paid fairly either.
Education is being #refunded from kindergarten through university at every level.
#Developed nations use fair rates to tax the #wealthy, then fund #subsidize citizens' lives. #capitalism is broken. We need #DemocraticSocialism -
" #CPP Investments boss says he will continue to invest in #energy sector"
In lock-step with the Canadian #Liberal government, the #Canada #pension program intends to #subsidize #fossilFuel corporations while they 'transition'.
[Canada's #ghg rose every year until 2020, when data collection effectively stopped.]
The CPP also reportedly mainains "indirect, passive" investments in #Russia.
