You’d have to lay out a plan which shows me that the majority of the country gets a similar benefit.
As you know my economic views have changed considerably the past few years. I think the underlying issue is the multi national corporation. While they still exist in their dominant form I’ll support measures to find a way to ensure that wealth is not consolidating further.
But I’d have UBI replace welfare so I’m not sure how much extra to the budget it would cause.

"When Fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross"
I’m for that goal.
The multi national corporation along with the recent M&A splurge the last decade has caused such a consolidation of the ‘surplus’ nsacpi discussed that it’s causing instability. Fixing that instability is more important than the chamber of commerce crying about end stage capitalism.

It isn't as simple as you think. The mix between wages and profits in the U.S. economy changes quite a bit over time. And within the same firm, there is always this annual process for determining who gets what. When I worked in banking I always took the day bonuses were announced off because I thought there was a fair chance some sort of violence would erupt.
"I am a victim, I will tell you. I am a victim."
"I am your retribution."
I'm not kidding. I had a chat about this with my boss once. And his eyes narrowed. And he started talking about this one guy who really scared him and he hated having the bonus conversation with. People on Wall Street make ridiculous amounts of money. But it is never enough.

At this point would it be that surprising to see both McConnell and McCarthy get primaried with Trump support? He is already calling McConnell gutless and clueless, and now McCarthy- after pretty harshly decrying Trump after Jan 6- has come out and said no one is questioning the validity of the election, which we know won't sit well.
