Where will the money come from to fund the UBI? Individual income taxes comprise about 50% of revenues. Corporate taxes are a little over 10%. Payroll taxes are another 35%.
And how would goods be almost free? Labor is only one input to making an IPhone. Labor is only about 15% of the cost of making an iPhone. So eliminating that doesn’t get the cost anywhere close to free. Resources will still scarce.

Except dollars are fungible. Without the deduction your paycheck would be smaller.
Those on ACA get their entire check because their health insurance premiums aren’t deducted from their check. The subsidies allow them to keep more of it though just like the deduction employees receive.
Y’all do know Milton Friedman was in favor of health insurance vouchers?!? Amazing how a conservative idea became welfare just because a democrat passed it.

Again your post:

You are getting help from the government to pay for your health insurance premiums... or simply having the government pay them entirely. You are getting welfare.
Receiving a tax deduction for your health insurance premiums is welfare according to your own definition. Again, maybe you should learn the words you are trying to use before using them.

Your post in question:

Hmmm notice the absence of any reference to ACA?
Yeah… maybe you should learn English before posting dumb opinions.

Never heard of a group plan that isn’t pretax. That’s the entire point of offering the benefit. Are the some? I guess. But that is the exception rather than the rule.
And the point is that most people get help from the government to pay for health insurance. Sorry, according to the poster I was replying to, most people receive welfare.

The post I was responding to wasn’t specifically about ACA but simply “ getting help from the government to pay for your health insurance premium”… which is exactly what a tax deduction is.
Sorry you don’t understand health insurance…

Someone doesn’t realize that group insurance premiums are tax deductible. To the employer and employee. So…

Looks like the whole thing will cost about $95K, and I will be responsible for $5,900, which is the maximum out-of-pocket for the year. Not bad....
Plans vary by state, but that sounds awfully high for a MAPD. Was that outpatient? MAX on any plan in my state is like $500. And that is high.
I own cutco knives… that should answer your question.

The Bills have the 2nd most wins in the NFL in that timeframe (since 2019) Yet they are 6th in most penalties….
And zero championships. Might be a correlation there?

Taylor spent 4 season as a Jaguar. Never once was an article or social media post made about his alignment… he played 66 games a a Jag… 39 as a Chiefs.
NOW everyone notices something he’s done his entire career. Never mind he wasn’t flagged for it his first 4 years either. But now the NFL is cheating for the Chiefs… lol
Y’all aren’t serious football fans…

So what team had no penalties in 2018? Was the league cheating for that team to? Must have been since the NFL was obviously cheating for the Chiefs, right?

The sports IQ on this forum is probably the lowest of any sports forum on the internet. This board is basically TMZ for sports.
It only looked at defensive penalties during the playoffs. I’m sure they analyzed both offensive and defensive penalties but only published the defensive stats because they could massage the data enough to fit their narrative.

On the other hand, I think that real estate agents are grossly overpaid. Why do people even need real estate agents?
In the process of home shopping. Go to a couple of open houses, and view a few homes with a realtor through Zillow. We decide to put an offer in using the realtor that showed us homes through Zillow. He sends us the agent contract. He has a 2.5% fee. It’s almost $25,000 in commissions for a home we found ourselves. He didn’t even open the damn door.
I ask him if his rate is negotiable and he gives me some BS about the seller already agreeing to pay it, but really it’s built into the asking price. He also explains, that after paying his broker and taxes he only keeps about $7k. Like I don’t pay taxes too.
Then he says, I can represent myself but then the sellers agent would keep all 5%. So, the sellers agent would make nearly $50k simply because she doesn’t have to split the commission with a buyers agent.
I’m a salesperson (insurance) and some might consider me overpaid, but I’ve worked a prospect for over 12 months just to make $600. Driven 3.5 hours just to make $600. Making $50k for unlocking a door is insane.

Because it wasn’t about the prostitution. He was facing RICO charges. The prostitution was the only thing that stuck. If all they were gonna get was a prostitution conviction they wouldn’t have brought the case.
quote:
no he was convicted of two counts of violating the Mann Act, ie: transporting women for the purpose of prostitution.
Reading comprehension is hard for you, huh?
And why was Cassie not convicted of the same, when she testified that she made the arrangements and paid the prostitutes.

He wasn’t charged, much less convicted, of any of that.
So you don’t believe in the Constitution. Got it! Or do you only believe the Constitution applies to people you like? He was convicted of transporting prostitutes after being initially facing RICO charges.
Is he guilty of domestic violence? Absolutely. But that’s not what he was charged with or convicted of. No one goes to jail for what he was convicted of. They aren’t even charged with it. Unless they are the actual pimp.
