Should the government provide a guaranteed basic income?
>>
No.
>>
>>66476801
not until we solve overpopulation
>>
>>66476801

Yes.

Once it secures our borders and refuses any and all immigration to non ethnic Europeans and outlaws SJW's.
>>
>>66476801
There should be some way for a person to make a livable income. It could be land to subsist on or federal service or some New Deal type jobs. I'm not necessarily opposed to basic income, but its probably a better idea for recipients of basic income be required to do some work for the government.

Want free college? 2 years in the military earns you that.
>>
>>66476801
Yes. Survival anxiety is real. I have it.

Citizens are a nations resource and if that nation wants to prosper it should look after its people. Govt should be about giving to the people, not taking from the people.

I demand basic living income. I shouldn't have to stress about food, shelter, water etc. How can I effectively contribute with that stress looming over my head?
>>
Let's dispel this fiction that a government is anything other than other people just like you.

Should other people just like you provide you with a guaranteed basic income?
>>
>>66476963
It's already solved in many places.

Even America fertility is barely above replacement.

A government should ensure a decent quality of life for all those willing to take part in it and do their part for the community.
A government however should not be forced to give everyone within it's borders a bunch of benefits when they themselves do not give anything back.
>>
Only after complete automation and we enter a post scarcity society. It would be a great solution to ensure that the resources you consume do not over burden your share of the automated system. For instance if food was free, what is to stop some ass hole from taking all the food in the store and throwing it in the trash? With UBI it would ensure you could still obtain all your needs without exhausting the resources.
>>
>>66477112

Or this.

I'm not opposed to full on socialist measures like free health care, education, etc.

But I want it for a WHITE EUROPEAN SOCIETY.

Basically Australia during the White Australian Policy era.

Right now, I am not for helping worthless parasites who never work, never contribute and also steal and leech off of us, like Lebanese Muslims or African "refugees".

Fuck them.

But if we lived in a society with national service, that was ethnically and politically homogeneous I wouldn't oppose it.

>>66477152

Other people don't take 25% of my income.
>>
Yes, so I can stay home and shitpost on 4chan all day.
>>
>>66477469
In the US some "other people" take 25% of my income.

I say return it to the vidya stoner loli fappers instead first. Then we can discuss next steps.
>>
>>66476801

Why not just guarantee food, shelter, and work?

Why waste your time fiddling with income, when you can just give the basic needs of a human?
>>

too bad third world immigrants shit out babies daily

I agree with this. I want a socialist government and a nationalist government. A nationalist socialist party would be ideal.
>>
>>66477362

He does sort of have a point though.

Australia is falling apart in terms of it's intellectual capabilities and it's businesses are rotting.

This is largely because the government hasn't been able to maintain a balance between a free market and a sustainable economy.

We didn't need a "basic living income" 20 years ago, because our wages were so high and our cost of living so low.

If you found yourself unemployed for a period, the unemployment benefits more than covered it.

Now we have half our population on hamster wheels, essentially paying someone elses debt and reinvesting nothing themselves (someone else increasingly being Chinese migrants or simply Chinese investors and retiring Baby Boomers).

They need to break that cycle, otherwise we're just going to end up like the Philippines or some other shitty third world country that does nothing productive or innovative.

But then again, as we can see in America, anyone attempting to return to standards of the 1950's and 60's is clearly Hitler.
>>
>>66477716
Why waste your time fiddling with administering all of dem programs when you can just disburse funds? And eliminate the welfare trap in the process?
>>
>>66476801
Only if it is linked to a guaranteed basic work requirement. Send them out to pick up litter from the streets and roads and parks, have them work on removing graffiti, shoveling snow, etc. All who want to consume society's resources must also help to produce.

There's no such thing as overpopulation. There are over-crowded cities, but it's not like the whole world is overcrowded. Most of the people in the country live in very high-density cities, so most of the country thinks the country is overcrowded. People in low-density populations see the world as underpopulated and have more children. Sadly, they're also dumber.
>>
>>66477945

Because "Dem Programs" are what keep state employees on the gravy train.
>>
>>66477063
Fucking this. Just this. Socialism, yes, but only among people with European background.
>>
>>66476801
Why?
You have to earn your existence.
You want food? Go get it. Farm it, hunt it, gather it, or buy it.
Life ain't free.
>>
>>66477965

We do that here.

It's kind of a trap though, since instead of doing something productive or looking for real work, they're doing largely unnecessary menial work and they don't really get paid enough to live on.
>>
>>66476801
it already essentially does, but shouldn't
>>
>>66477437
This. This was Smith's actual advice to William and Mary. The government should enable everyone to reach the summit of their abilities by getting the hell out of the way, but, in emergencies, it should guarantee a minimum so that you don't have families freezing to death in the winter.
>>
>>66478038

Australia is overpopulated.

Massively so.

If it wasn't, wages wouldn't stagnate.
>>
>>66476801
Why should I get a job when other idiots are willing to get a job and give me enough money for me to sit on my ass all day long?
>>
Isn't that just stealing from the rich to give to the lazy?

Sure the rich get it to but in the end they just end up paying for it. I mean they will see their taxes go from 20,000,000 to 40,000,000 but at least they will get 10,000 like everyone else right? That's fair right?
>>
I agree that survival anxiety is real because i had it and experienced it, but universal basic income will probably result in men becoming full time world of warcraft players.
>>
>>66477965
Got no problem with this as a socialist provided the income fairly compensates the workers their labour.
>>
>>66476801
Remove all social safety net programs first, then we'll talk.

I'd love it if niggers could finally shut the fuck up about muh reparations and muh oppression AND make be able to make 12 grand more each year to pursue my /o/tistic dreams AND save america money in the proccess.
>>
get rid of all welfare and replace it with a minimum income, which is coordinated via negative federal income tax. taxes are to be filed by all citizens, every year
>>
>>66478322
Yeah exactly it should provide a safety net for worst case scenarios, but not give everyone ladders and imagine no one will abuse it.

The founding fathers or America were incredible men with a great idea however they were short sighted and made the mistake of assuming that everyone who comes to America will also be of such high moral fibre.
They set up a constitution that assumed everyone was intelligent and honest and willing to do their share for the betterment of the whole and that's why it ultimately failed.

People are scumbags, introduce scum to an enlightened society and the scumbag doesn't become enlightened, it just drags everyone down their level.

Sad as hell. Maybe in a few hundred years the world will be ready.

Just kill those who refuse to support themselves.

Fuck off with your survival anxiety shit. I worked minimum wage jobs for years and had no problems surviving. I didn't have a massive amount of spending money but I had enough to go party and buy the odd cool gadget here and there. Sick of earning minimum wage? Upskill, or start your own business. I decided I wanted more in life so I saved up a little for a deposit on a business loan and became self employed contactor to a big company. I earn more money than most of my friends now and have no actual qualifications.

It's not that fucking hard you lazy niggers.
>>
>>66477744
...because 80% of those kids die before they hit puberty

they will continue to have a population boom til they get more civilized. so basically once the jews get their moneys and put them in debt they will no longer be able to afford having multiple kids. or even one, like in first world nations.
>>
>>66478914
At least niggers were working on the plantations.
And their was no welfare.

The problem with free welfare is you're enabling garbage leeching people to propagate their genes, in turn making even more social leeches.

Welfare should only be available to people without children that are willing to become sterilized. That way garbage cleans up itself.
>>
>>66479494
There, there was no welfare.
>>
"Survival anxiety" is what motivates people to achieve and better themselves. Do you think our species would've progressed as much as it has if no one had to worry about providing for themselves and improving their lives?

A guaranteed income is the stupidest thing I've ever heard.

The government already gives free food and shelter to anyone who wants it. Just commit a crime and get sent to prison.
>>
>>66478356

Eh. It's more a form of social control.

We give out the dole here because if we didn't, we would have cities Baltimore or Detroit, where crime and poverty run amok.

Basically they give just enough to the populace to make sure they don't get agitated.

In exchange they do things like rape our resources for short term profit and drive down wages and drive up living expenses (and make huge profits as a result) with mass immigration of Muslims and "others".

fucken lol

If you removed all the minorities, sure. Unfortunately, to do this would require airtight border and immigration control, along with the removal of 90% of the current minority underclass to be fiscally possible. Open borders + diversity, or a welfare state. Choose one.
>>
>>66477362

ok how about this: 2 years of basic income for every year worked

it shoud pay itself and you sohuld have 10 years accumulated at 5 years worked which is reasonable. without allowing neets.
