Let’s just get the Marxism out in the open and call it a Basic Living Stipend (BLS).
But, then, you’d have to give it everyone, wouldn’t you? And you can’t buy votes by giving everyone the same thing.
So, then we’d have to add on Supplements to the BLS and give those supplements to the usual purchased vote groups, like blacks, women (single only of course), and gays.
The biggest problem with American Communism is that the biggest idiots in politics want to run it.
Actually it's not Marxism, per Milton Freidman. A negative income tax would provide everyone with a subsidy, which means Uncle Sam cuts everyone a check that can be used to pay basic living expenses. At the same time, all the poverty programs, labor laws, and welfare would be abolished.
