Economic ignorance.
Mark Knoffler, Dire Straits:
"That ain't workin' that's the way you do it
Money for nothin' and your chicks for free"
Oops, the cute 18yo chicks don't need your money anymore with this plan.
Playing the gee-tar on the MTV WAS providing real value. This doesn't. Who knew?
This proposal doesn't deserve rebuttal. [but here goes]
1. Most lottery winners are broke and completely screwed up. Does ANYBODY know why?
2. It isn't about getting money. It's about learning how to provide value to your fellow citizens. Money which represents that value and then flows as deserved and needed. 'How the World Works.'
3. Get everyone providing value and the whole economy prospers.
4. Give it for free and nothing gets produced except dependency and everyone suffers.
5. The only way you give 48k to everyone is to make 48k worthless. This is inherent in the plan and already in progress.
5. If this is good, stop doing the opposite. Each 18 year old today that intends to be in the producing half of income earners inherits a quarter to a half million dollars - in DEBT - under the current system and this proposal aims to grow that exponentially'.
Good God, how dumb are we?
