Free Money In Newark, NJ!

[old levi's]

That is not my concern ... when you give people money there are two things to keep in mind.
It is not your concern what they do with it.
Don't expect it to be repaid.

Gifts have no strings; that's why they are gifts.

Have you ever seen the Facebook page People of New York? The guy who started it was a stockbroker(?) and quit one day to take pictures of random people in NYC. Then he started asking them questions. He’s really blown up and has traveled to different countries doing the same thing. He also raises money for different projects from people on his page. It’s a great page.

Sounds like it.
Having a story for a street picture takes it to the next level.
I carry a quick print printer that hangs around my neck and my camera syncs with it and it produces a 4 by 4 inch print.
I take a picture of that person with their print and give to them too.
It's surprising how often I see the person again and they recognize me and pull that picture out I gave them.
Pretty cool.

Wow! He has his own Wikipedia page now! I started following him not too long after he started. He’s even published a few books of the pictures and stories he’s gathered.

He has set up several charity events and efforts ... a good person.

"I do think economic insecurity can fuel a mindset of scarcity that then helps lead to xenophobia and racism and hatred,” continued the candidate. “If you can’t pay your bills and you feel like your future and your family’s future are insecure, and someone comes along and says ‘It’s their fault,’ you’re more likely to respond negatively to a group. I think getting off people’s throats through the ‘Freedom Dividend’ of $1,000 per month might actually help make people more reasonable and generous and accepting.”

You know what really brings up a mindset of scarcity. Higher taxes on working class Americans who can no longer afford their standard of living thanks to redistribution and government caused inflation.

I agree.
I also didn't hear him suggest higher taxes on working class Americans.....

What bills? The government pays almost everything?

They never do. Every system I’ve seen that operates off a capitalist economy with socialist redistribution requires high Value added tax (vat) 10% to 33% sales tax, which can be a deductible from your high income tax which for me would be 41% in a country like France and 45% for anyone making over the 160,000 area.

The fact is you can’t just plunder the wealthy for taxes to pay for even half the they are proposing. They will come for the middle class to subsidize the poor.

Does your reply make sense in your head?

What people also don’t talk about when it comes to the EU is the massive debt they are in as well. Even with high taxes on their citizens.
National debt in EU countries 2018 | Statistic

The countries I’ve looked at would be taking around 40%+ of your earnings every year to subsidize others.
This isnt including what you would be paying in increased prices of good from protectionist tariffs and vat systems.

I’m just not convinced socialism is the way to go in America. Personally if the government decided to take 40% of my earnings and introduced higher costs on consumer goods it would cripple me

"They" already have, and it's not just to subsidize the poor, it's to subsidize corporations and the rich.

I like to look at the EU itself as a country like the United States and the countries as states.

So you agree with adding onto that with more redistribution?

Pretty accurate but more like earlier in US history when the states were more independent.

That's what racist Trump supporters who scapegoat immigrants are getting right now?

I think you're having trouble following the conversation. That or you accidentally hit reply to my post.
