>>Facebook co-founder Chris Hughes thinks the government should give cash handouts to people with the lowest incomes in order to fight income inequality. <<

We don’t need to wait for the government. Just you Chris. Give all your money away until you have a below middle class lifestyle.

Or shut up.

Out of touch rich liberal.

Thinks that $500 per month is a windfall for a peasant.

At the point these schemes become a reality, $500 won’t buy you a loaf of bread.

Is it equality when some people have to work for their money and others don't?

The scam here is he wants a 50% INCOME TAX.

No billionaire shows billions of dollars of income in any given year. Their billions are tied up in assets.

The main people who show income are wage earners.

Zuckerman knows exactly what he’s doing.

Don’t we already do something like this, with the various public assistance programs, and rent benefits such as section 8 housing, an food stamp/SNAP benefits? Isn’t there already a social safety net,?

Or is he saying, keep all those programs, and even expand them, but on top of that, give everyone$500 a month??? What are we really saying here?
