[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 4011276, member: 24302"] I think companies are making a calculation that there's a big enough economy with the top 50% of salaried and wage earners that they can become immensely more profitable getting rid of most of the bottom half. Who buys those new pickups and SUV's anyways? This presidential candidate Yang is talking about a Universal Basic Income of $1000 a month for every adult 18-65. He points out that the poor would be putting the money right back into the economy on basic necessities. To pay for it he's advocating a Value Added Tax on everything, just as many other countries have. He points out that companies like Amazon are collapsing small companies that pay taxes while Amazon itself paid no taxes last year. A VAT would insure taxes are paid that would offset the job losses caused by automation. And he pointed out that a UBI has been discussed, even voted on, in Congress. Was actually passed twice during the Nixon administration by the House but failed in the Senate where they wanted an even higher UBI. Although much less, Alaska has a UBI given annually to every resident for oil revenue. That's been going on since the early 90's and was established by a conservative governor. [/QUOTE]
