Universal Basic Income

[videogamesrock]

I wouldn't categorize tax avoidance with the same as food stamps and section 8 housing. The health insurance is a requirement by law and is charged at what your net income is. I'll use the PELL because of all the years I paid into the system. But what I've described is not living off of the government. The government does not pay for my food, clothing, shelter, car, gasoline, utilities, or any other day to day activities. I've planned my business around the tax code and around the government's inflationary stance. It just so happens that I pay more in local, state, and county taxes and the federal government issues me refunds for being a student. The government has been subsidizing the housing industry since the Great Depression. I play by all of the rules that everyone here is eligible to participate in and it comes down to choice. As I have stated I wish the government gets out of subsidizing everything including 30 year mortgages, tax deferral, corporate welfare, individual welfare, health insurance, education such as student loans and grants, and then maybe we can have a flat and fair tax system where everyone pays a low and flat rate. Maybe an amendment forcing the government to cut fraud waste abuse and deficit spending. If you do need welfare fine, but there should be a lifetime 2 year limit which would give someone motivation to become self sufficient.
