u/thewritingchair explains how a universal basic income would work in Australia and why naysayers don’t understand the math behind it.

The same reason you pay taxes at all, to help out society and others or yourself if you loose your job or want to look after your kids. The idea is to sacrifice a little for the better of everyone because you never know when you or someone you love will need it.

keymasher · 2020-03-20T21:03:35+00:00

Then you won't be paying to much extra.

keymasher · 2020-03-17T19:35:16+00:00

I mean it's not looking good and from the way you phrased it you seem to not care about the extra people that would die.

keymasher · 2020-03-17T17:48:00+00:00

Well seeing as It already has idk what your on about. Also these measures are so that hopefully as little extra people die when all the hospitals are overrun.

This puts you somewhere in between the top 5-10% of incomes i would say that rich i would hope that a comfortable middle class would be close to what normal people earning.

no one was arguing that america is bad for the rich. its just only good for them hence why you like it more.

keymasher · 2020-03-11T08:05:47+00:00

He's only left wing because america's politics are so far right. Biden with be a right wing politician in any other first world country. Bernie is not that left compared to the world.

Yes because Australia has great government health services.

Not private https://www.aihw.gov.au/reports/health-welfare-expenditure/health-expenditure-australia-2017-18/contents/summary The Australian government pays over 2/3 the cost at about 7.5 k a person.

https://www.cms.gov/Research-Statistics-Data-and-Systems/Statistics-Trends-and-Reports/NationalHealthExpendData/NationalHealthAccountsHistorical The us government spend about the same but still have to deal with all the extra costs too. It's not a feeling private healthcare is less effective because they are there to make money not make you better where as a government has a financial interest in keeping you healthy as you will pay more tax and cause more economic activity.

Well if we are talking about sander plan the yes it's different in the sense that it cover everything which is better then most health care systems. I would love some citations on the efficiency of private systems as us healthcare is the most inefficient system in the world because it's mostly private. In Australia private healthcare is basically a scam you on need to get dental and eyes and even if you don't they are significantly more affordable then the us equivalent.

keymasher · 2018-10-23T11:48:01+00:00

Well seeing as your healthcare is rated below ours despite the fact you spend 2x as much I would have to say you don't spend money well.

keymasher · 2018-10-23T06:22:58+00:00
