You want to see what happens if you guarantee "free income" to citizens? Just look at ANY ghetto in the USA, any "project" housing. THAT is the result of over 50 years of "welfare".

This is socialism at it's absolute worst!
No, that's the price of living in a civilization.
The rest of the world has a better health care system than the U.S.
whatever. Maybe if we stopped calling it normal in the US to walk around with your ass hanging out and "axing" questions, the US would be a better place to live.
