(1,138 posts)To have anything besides enough to eat a place to live and needed care for an illness or injury you would have to work. And pay 50% tax. But that would be up to you in this plan. There is only so much money in the hat. It will have to be doled out equally in a fair manner. But the 1% will pay 1/2 of all they make. So there might be more than you think. Hard choices will have to be made. This plan is brilliant. Everyone will have a good starting point. After that it is up to them. Nobody will starve or be without some kind of shelter or medical treatment if needed. And best of all we will not go bankrupted. Like we are now. It would not be a "safety hammock". But a survival dole. There would be at least 300 million people or whatever our population is. At 500 a month for each how much is that a month. 150 billion? A family of 2 would get 1k.
