What you are saying sounds like taxing the fuck out of the people that make an ok living and then giving the cash to lazy fuckwads. It's not going to work.
I didn't say anything about raising taxes. Just take the existing budget, cut out the workfare and disability administration bureaucracy and divvy it up evenly with the recipients. Instead of giving a huge percentage to the bureaucracy like we are now.
There's a budget NOW, and it's being divied up between the recipients.
A huge chunk goes to administration. Do you know how much Ontario Works CUPE staff gets paid? The present means-tested Workfare and disability programs involve a lot of labour administration.
The entire budget of the present programs combined is less than 30 billion.
You couldn't save enough for a 100 billion UBI program even if the employees worked for free.
I hope that you get it now,
Then go with a 30 billion UBI program. That is what I have been saying. Use the same budget. Think about what percent that 30 billion goes to the pockets of bureaucrats rather than the recipients themselves. The whole point of means-tested welfare was to have bureaucrats to determine who is "deserving" in order to "save money." But in the process the poverty pimp takes a big cut.
