The way to beat inflation?

[Wainuiguy]

If you took all the money in the world and divided it equally amongst everyone within a few years those who had most of it at the start would have it again.

Bit like the argument Lilith said about Nordic countries - they pay hight tax and are happy.  Just make everyone pay 60% tax and we will he the happiest country in the world.

Research indicates it isn't wealth that makes a nation happy.

It is education.

What an idiotic argument.  Boosting lower paid people isn't bad but it flows on up the line increasing wages for all then costs for all eroding the increase in the first place

Maybe the flowing up the line ought to stop. After all, the minimum wage is a minimum, for the lowest paid. There is no assumption the better paid others then need to restore the gap that made them the lowest paid - that attitude needs to just go away.

It is yet more evidence that a UBI is a sensible option.

UBI is a pipe dream for the terminally stupid or naive.
