What's the real reason people oppose a #BasicIncome?

Pensioners earned their pensions with a lifetime of work. Did you?

I'd love to know the stats on full time, tax paying followers, on this site.

That's a generalisation. Also people who never worked in a paid job for a single day in their life are entitled to a pension. But are you saying that when people have worked they are entitled to benefits? How about disabled people who can't work? How about social security for young people who haven't paid enough premiums yet but become unemployed for whatever reason? Perhaps you want you to give you response a bit more thought.

Terry, you are way off base.

Workers WORK and EARN their retirement pensions and their monthly social security payments.

Lazy, entitled, worthless people DO NOT earn anything, and SHOULD NOT receive any "monthly allowance"... so what's the problem?

Disabled people are a whole different topic, they are assisted by government action through the use of taxpayer funded programs.

So..... Terry, what are you saying? Your meme makes no sense other than to be some sort of "sick self-burn" on retired workers, like a third grader's joke.

You really don't know that most people who receive unemployment benefits used to work and paid premiums (and were taxpayers!) and you also don't know that even people who never worked are entitled to 'free' money when they're old? Where do you get your information, Jiggy?

uh, it's called reality... do some research, get the facts.

Ah, so you're still researching? Good, hope you actually find the facts. Good luck! Tip: a 'news item' on Fox Entertainment Channel is not the same as 'a fact'. 😉

try typing out your argument in a coherent manner... then re-read what you've typed very carefully... you. are. incorrect.

Please Jiggy, first do some actual research before you claim you have done research. It will save you a lot of embarrassment. And learn how to use arguments: stating someone is wrong does not constitute an argument. Really. It just doesn't. But nice try.

no argument. you are wrong. and this meme is crap.
LOL

No argument indeed. Simply stating someone is wrong without being able to state why you think so is not posing an argument, it's simply troling. Apparently that's your thing. But if that's what makes you happy, Jiggy, that's fine. I suggest you reread your replies and see if you can spot an actual argument. If you can't, please do something else against your boredom and let the grown ups have actual discussions, okay? Good boy.

re-read my initial comment, you made a meme that is factually incorrect, immature, and irrational... all in the name of insulting people who require help. good one terry. enjoy your hate-filled, ignorant, and intolerant life... LOL
