Just received my stimulus check for 1.2K. Hopefully, one day we can all get a check for 1K a month. This’ll make living life less stressful. 🥳

Sounds like what happened with trickle down economy! I’d rather take a chance with a trickle up version, but I understand people’s skepticisms on the subject!

C’mon, you work in PA and likely make a damn good living. Do you really need the government to give $1k per month? Talk to someone earning min. Wage and see what it feels like. Where do you think that money comes from anyway? Have some self respect and earn your money, help others that can’t help themselves.

And you’ll pay $5k in taxes each month to pay 4 others who don’t want to work.

You know it!

The resulting increase in taxes and the corresponding exponential inflation will make living life unbearable.

It wouldn’t capture everything, but it would be much better and captures a lot more than current tax system. I agree that it should be explored and hopefully sooner than later! But if there’s a VAT with UBI, it would help the transition. I think with any new program, there’s always going to be some issue, but here’s to the hope that the outcome will overweigh the initial pains.

Some of us didn't get a check this go round

Hey everyone, wasn’t trying to start a debate - just wanted to let people know that the checks are coming in for those who didn’t get it yesterday.

Sorry if adding my ‘hope’ at the end rustled some feathers. Hope everyone stays safe and healthy during this time!

I didn’t get the check. I’ve also paid over 100k in student loans, rent and am nowhere close to wealthy. I really can’t afford my taxes going up even more.

Thanks OP - I’m priced out but I think what myself and D3 are saying is that most of or salary goes back to paying debts so we’re still cash poor 🤪

I am really happy people are getting the money this round. I got a check back in 2009 when I really really needed it (was out of work for many months in the Great Recession)

Yang proposed a value added tax (VAT), slowly transitioning out existing programs, and that the UBI would supercharge the economy and create jobs and boost the economy. Granted I’m no expert, but his numbers seemed to make sense to me. Anyways, it’s a hope!
