I'm running out of things that the progressives want the government to pay for without any logic and mathematics behind it:

1.) College 2.) Healthcare 3.) Abortion 4.) UBI

Why not just throw the entire enchilada out there and just have them pay for everything? If giving people money allows for economic growth, then wouldn't it make sense to just give everyone unlimited amount of money. Why stop at X when you can go for Y.

This response doesn't really even matter because the rich wouldn't be taxed enough to actually pay for it. And if they were it would hinder economic growth. You also realize the top 50% of income earners in the US pay 100% of the taxes. You also realize the top 10% earners pay 37% of the income taxes. So at what point is enough enough?

The entire premise of UBI is counter productive as it is. We can act like the differ but we all know that people will simply drop out of the work force when they don't have to work.

Wouldn't this be a solution to any third world country is to simply supply a UBI to its citizens? Why wouldn't Venezuela do this if it was so great?

Such a big risk to attempt that ignores economics 101.

Anyone with a 4th grade knowledge of mathematics would realize this is a terrible idea. Even the research states this would raise GDP if you didn't raise taxes and pay for it with debt. Its the socialist dream to simply create money out of thin air or put it on credit. But the rich can be taxed more right?

When i bought sets for my son (5) i was worried he would break them and I would have to put them back together. The best thing that has happened is i let him destroy them and now he takes the pieces and builds his own things using creativity and engineering. Best thing to do is to let go.

I admitted being incorrect but simply pointing out how the original post painted a broad brush stating that alt right = white supremecist on the basis of that group being a small minority of people. And i compared it to the alt left. If this is the case then we should assume the alt-left are muslim extremists, or anarchists correct? Alt-left are associated with Antifa therefore they are extremists?

The broad strokes are more common coming from the liberals and love to assume everyone is a nazi because its easier to debate.

I do stand corrected. However to their defense this doesn't mean the members of The_Donald are endorsing White Nationalism or white supremacist. Is this any difference from the alt left association with their extremist views? Why can we paint a broad brush on one group of people, yet we cannot when you are a liberal or democrat? Also there are various factions of the alt-right and the stormers / white nationalist are a very very small factions.

The problem is people like yourself and other outlets lumped them altogether as one when they are more diverse than that. They then just ran with it.
