On: Switzerland’s Proposal to Pay People

[gnaritas]

> If it's about wealth redistribution, why give money to the rich?

If everyone gets it, then there's no overhead in qualifying people or trying to prevent fraud, that's why.

> I have a better idea, why don't government cut everyone’s taxes by the same amount?

That's not a better idea as it doesn't address the problem at all.

[colomon → gnaritas]

Actually, just making sure the people getting the checks are alive will constitute some overhead, no?

[gnaritas → colomon]

Are you being obtuse on purpose?
