But you see, that's the catch. That's the secret to making it. It's not increasing your earnings, it's reducing your costs to an absolute minimum and reinvesting your earnings.

Oh and rice is not very healthy. Eggs are far superior.

My idea of making it is either having enough money so you can't burn it all in your lifetime if you live frugally or generating enough passive income to not have to worry about money all the time. Five million is not enough. Inflation is rampant, easily over 10% without the doctored government calculations. Look at any cost-price index that hasn't swapped out products for cheaper variants. Of that 5mm you are losing 50k a year JUST to government printing. You need to earn 50k a year on your 5 million just to not lose money, and that's without you using ANY of it for anything.

Then there's taxes. I'm not saying you shouldn't enjoy yourself, but you should have realistic goals for what you're aiming for. 50 million is a more reasonable amount for what you're describing. This isn't the early 1900's, a million dollars is not much these days.

>So you give everyone a 1000 USD. >Where does the money come from?
I literally said vat taxes and carbon fees.

"Alaska’s UBI is called the Alaska Permanent Fund, and it directs oil revenue towards a yearly dividend which pays every Alaska citizen $1,000 to $2,000 a year. Yang wants to do something similar but with all of America using the USA’s massive and un-taxed tech industry."

To be more specific on why oil gives alaskan citizens money: "However, in 2008 Governor Sarah Palin signed Senate Bill 4002 ******that used revenues generated from the state's natural resources******** and provided a one-time special payment of $1,200 to every Alaskan eligible for the PFD."

That's where the vax tax comes in in america. Tech will be what oil is to alaskans

>Now that you've made products much more expensive, is 1000 USD going to be enough for basic living expenses?

It's not like money is being printed, but the inflation thing isn't something I'm able to measure. The whole point of the ubi is to provide more Buying Power (meaning even with inflation, it should still be a net gain at the end of the day).

Also, if homes were made to be cheap as shit, it could be doable.

One major problem with this country is the lack of affordable housing (again, 50% of renters spend over 30% of their income on rent and of those, half spend over 50% of their income on rent. That's like spending over 2 weeks of working JUST to pay the fucking rent. Not even food, gas, utility, etc. JUST the fucking rent ALONE. Fuck that garbage. We need affordable housing to be a thing).

>> No.14993511

>>14993477

I'm not talking about inflation. Carbon taxes are basically taxes on the production of products. All taxes are always forwarded to the consumer, increasing their price. However, over the total price VAT or value added tax must be paid. Combining the two will easily make products 50% more expensive for end consumers.

I agree that the price hikes on homes are ridiculous, but that's another subject. They are the direct result of the Fed giving money to banks and buying stocks to transfer wealth to banks and the rich. Everyone gets a loan for everything so demand surges but supply does not. Eventually the money flow must end and at that point supply will have tried to catch up. There will be an economic crash of unimaginable proportions once this happens. Huge amounts of supply but no demand. But again, that's another subject.

Getting back to the Alaska dividends, can we really call that UBI? It's not guaranteed. It's a percentage of the profits made on allowing companies to exploit the natural resources of the state. If the price of oil tanks, the dividends are reduced. For total dependence on oil handouts, see venezuela for what you can expect. Can we say the same can be applied to the tech industry? Natural resources can't leave, but tech companies most certainly can. The whole reason why they're in silicon valley in the first place is because of the pretty much non-existent taxes.

>I'll take a look at this alaska UBI while you think on this

You're wording here is hilarious. It's like you are being smug and still trying to take control of this argument to not look stupid.

The only inflation that could occur is from goods and rent. Thing is, competition can lower the cost of goods from over inflating (for instance, if prices are too high, someone out there will offer a cheaper price and they will attract more customers making it so that prices everywhere won't go through the roof).

The rent thing is the only thing I'm worried about with ubi. I don't know how the ubi affected the cost of living in alaska.

At the end of the day, all that matters is that it ends with a net positive for citizens (where the possible inflation doesn't over weigh the actual 1k. The fact that alaskan citizens are happy about it https://www.google.com/amp/s/qz.com/1018413/new-survey-by-the-economic-security-project-finds-alaska-residents-strongly-support-preserving-a-universal-basic-income-ubi-from-the-alaska-permanent-fund-dividend-rather-than-cut-taxes/amp/ shows me they probably DO have more buying power as a result of the ubi).

>> No.14993553

>>14993527

And how will these competitors reduce the costs of their products exactly? By suppressing their production costs. That includes wages. This pushes the boundary for working and not working much closer together faster than you think. If working isn't profitable and free money is offered, people will simply stop working.

Ah but you see, now you have given every working person a 1000 USD more spending power while people on welfare programs don't get access to this because welfare is ~60k USD a year mostly in goods and services provided and tax exemptions. By giving everyone else 1k, you've reduced their share of the pie. Do you think they'll be happy with that? Will they vote for you?

You call it UBI but it's not universal. Not all participants in the economic system using the USD get it. So you give a small portion of people in a sparsely populated area a small amount of money that has no noticeable impact on the economy. That's different from 330 million * 12000 per year.

Um no. You KEEP saying shit without backing it up and it's either incomplete knowledge or just simply wrong.

"The state with the highest total value of welfare benefits was Hawaii, at $49,175. The lowest was Mississippi, at $16,984. Welfare packages in only 10 states, plus Washington, D.C., exceeded Grothman’s threshold of $35,000. Hawaii may be distorted by the high cost of living, researchers said. The rest of the states were below Grothman’s mark, including his own state."

Nowhere NEAR 60k even at best case scenario

It's not universal because not everyone in the US gets it, but everyone in the US uses the USD to trade. Thus citizens of Alaska can import goods and services from outside. Universal literally means it applies to all members of an object that fall under the rules of its classification. It's a term from formal logic, but let's not get into that.

>In simplest terms, the prices of goods and cost of living affect the value of your money.

Yes, good. Now you're getting there. Money is a claim on value. It's a social contract. I provide labour in exchange for money on the expectation that said money can buy me goods and services from others at a later time.

This poses the question, can you remove the exchange from this equation and still call it money? No, you can't. If I have to work for the same money someone else just gets or prints money, we can buy the same things. The pool of available resources for sale doesn't increase, it's just divided into smaller pieces. Money not exchanges for goods or services doesn't exist. You cannot have a 100% tax system, it would grind to a halt because nobody would work. Tax removes value from the system, it doesn't redistribute it.

Copied and paste:

1) The farmer grows the wheat and sells it to the baker for 20 cents (so the person that offers the resources to the tech companies = farmer). The VAT is 2 cents. The baker (tech company) pays the farmer 22 cents (20 from sale and 2 for VAT), and the farmer sends 2 cents in VAT to the government.

2) The baker (tech company) makes a loaf and sells it to the supermarket (idk some middle man) for 60 cents. The VAT is 6 cents. Now the supermarket (middle man) pays the baker (tech company selling to the middleman) 66 cents, of which 6 is VAT. The baker sends the government 4 cents -- he pays 6 cents in VAT but receives a two cent credit from the government

3) The store sells the loaf to me (consumer) for a dollar. I pay $1.10. The store sends the government 4 cents total - the 10 cents it collected in VAT on its sales, minus the 6 cents it paid to the baker in VAT, which it gets back in a credit. In total, the government gets 2 cents from the farmer, 4 cents from baker, 4 cents from the store. That's 10 cents on a final sale of a dollar — for a 10 percent VAT."

VAT will affect the consumer. In this case, it doesn't look to me as of the average citizen will be the consumer.

We don't buy technology for automated trucks for instance. Amazon wants to buy that. They will pay the VAT tax to the government when purchasing from tech companies. Comprende?

>> No.14994278

>>14994055
Now the thing is idk is yang wants to implement vat tax with everything, or just with technology meaning it may affect citizens. Either way, even if it's not just with technology related things and just all types of businesses in general, the ubi generated should still offset the cost creating more buying power to citizens.

Yes, but this way large companies will NOT be able to avoid paying taxes anymore (such as how amazon paid 0 in income taxes in 2018).

Are you insinuating that amazon paying a VAT tax on the automated trucks for instance will cause them to price their goods in such a way as to offset that cost unto THEIR consumers?

For me, it's the McChicken. The best fast food sandwich. I even ask for extra McChicken sauce packets and the staff is so friendly and more than willing to oblige.

One time I asked for McChicken sauce packets and they gave me three. I said, "Wow, three for free!" and the nice friendly McDonald's worker laughed and said, "I'm going to call you 3-for-free!".

Now the staff greets me with "hey it's 3-for-free!" and ALWAYS give me three packets. It's such a fun and cool atmosphere at my local McDonald's restaurant, I go there at least 3 times a week for lunch and a large iced coffee with milk instead of cream, 1-2 times for breakfast on the weekend, and maybe once for dinner when I'm in a rush but want a great meal that is affordable, fast, and can match my daily nutritional needs.

I even dip my fries in McChicken sauce, it's delicious! What a great restaurant.

I don't like my government and I don't trust it one bit. I expect them to use legal precedence to install more taxes. What's my basis for this? Almost every tax we have today came into being exactly like this. So it will start with VAT on tech, then as the government needs more money, more VAT will be introduced. And before you know it, you're Europe 2.0. 70% of your monthly income going to the tax man is considered normal if you live very, very frugally.

Companies don't pay taxes. Their customers do. And that's always the end-consumer. It doesn't matter how you increase costs. It's always included in the cost of the product or service sold.
