You hate this argument because it proves you are wrong. For one thing 'wealth' is defined as net worth which puts a recent graduate earning $300,000 who has a $200,000 student debt and no other assets on that bottom percentage with a net worth wiping out $200,000 of someone else's wealth so the total looks worse...
Nope that doesn't happen you are simply lying.
What does happen is that people who don't have ID, haven't voted in years, or can't spell their own names are removed so they need to reregister
So young people want to vote but not have any of the responsibilities that go along with voting like jury duty?
Unfortunately that is part of the voting deal, you need to do jury duty.
Polling places are easily found and are readily available with lists posted weeks in advance.
College ID is not government issued and that is why it isn't good enough.
Each and every person has a concept of what they consider is fair and will not accept a transaction that isn't beneficial to them. As such everything you just argued is proven to be rubbish.
"Yes, but that doesn't mean that they are gaining equally from that transaction. "
So what? Why would they need to gain equally? Each is choosing it because they determine that to be THEIR BEST POSSIBLE CHOICE. The judgement of some elitist ass like you isn't relevant.
"Indeed, chances are pretty good that the corporate entity is gaining a whole lot more from the transaction than the consumer is."
That isn't your call to make and even if it were it is none of your business.
"Unfortunately, for many transactions the consumer has little choice."
So what, others do not owe them options.
"We don't get to choose to simply not eat, for example"
Nobody is making you need to eat. That is purely your body making you need to eat, so why do you think others should have to make allowances for that?
"(and most working people don't really have the option of spending half their day fishing)."
Actually they do, they just understand that isn't as productive as going to work...
"What the article writer seems to miss in my mind is that UBI needs to go hand-in-hand with a reasonable minimum wage."
No it does not and given you have provided no evidence or arguments to support you claim then by Hitchens razor I dismiss it with none myself.
"UBI shouldn't be a way for government to simply provide cheaper labour for corporate entities -- that's simply corporate welfare."
UBI is immoral and unacceptable.
"UBI needs to be balanced with a reasonable minimum wage to prevent these sorts of abuses."
Nope it needs to not exist, like minimum wage.
Canada is an example of the failure of public medical. It has crappy service, long wait times and is absolutely pathetic.
I live in NZ and here I have private medical insurance that costs less than 1/23rd as much as the portion of my taxes that go to the public system. My private medical covers everything that the public system does and more (dental, non-subsidised teatments and medication, private rooms, higher standard of care etc etc etc) and is cheaper because there is nothing that can be done that can't be done worse by government. This holds true for every single country that has private insurance and public systems. As to America being expensive that is the teens of thousands of pages of regulations placed upon n the industry, like the one that restricts the number of new doctors (not based upon qualifications but just the number), that prevent interstate sales, that prevent direct bargaining etc etc etc.
They had removed private control of the means of production and as such were, by definition, Socialist.
My great grandparents were murdered by those German Socialist assholes so I know how evil Socialism is.
Now go take your 'no true Scotsman fallacy' and shove it where the some doesn't shine.
None of what you said is true, you are just another braindead Marxist. Your brother is an idiot and I doubt you are even telling an actual story but instead lying.
Please get cancer and die.
That's funny because in reality the lower classes and middle class asre shrinking while the upper middle and upper class are expanding. But what else can else expect from a self absorbed, entitle lying, selfish, leftist?
If you want to help people go right ahead, but do not think you should force others to do the same. The second world war was about fighting that evil Socialist ideology and now ignorant POS like you take up the banner and charge head first into the mass graves of the Fascist regimes you want to establish.
Most billionaires want more regulation not less. They want to protect their established businesses and force potential competitors out of the market.
You are either lying or ignorant of the facts.
Yes, either might take the jobs they currently have but this does not mean they won't find other jobs.
If that is what happens then that is what will happen, it nobody's business but those offering the jobs.
The recovery was only long because of Obama. His moronic policies stifled the already extant recovery and led to the softest recovery since the economic failure of the new deal.
In the free market companies are not protected from diseconomies of scale. As all of history shows the massive companies and harmful monopolies are exclusively the result of government intervention and regulation of the market.

Are you retarded or just playing such for comedic effect? You don't have to use the f**king taxi you f**king moron.
No it hasn't, we understand it is subjective.
Except it doesn't, each of those people along the way traded in voluntary transaction for their benefit.
Each and every person has a concept of what they consider is fair and will not accept a transaction that isn't beneficial to them. As such everything you just argued is proven to be rubbish.
If you choose to.

So no argument against what he said just proof you are a braindead pig ignorant NPC.
So whar if it is local, does that change anything? As to taxes, they are taken by force and should not be.
Are people forced to be Uber drivers? No, they are not. Can they stop being aiber drivers? Yes, they can. Therefore it isn't anything like slavery.
Democracy has no place deciding anything about what is mine.
Except that can't happen. It is literally impossible.

Fascism and censorship are inherrently left wing. They are both big government power and control...
No it isn't. So long as people can do something someone else values they will have jobs. End of discussion.

Ranked on a self selected response to a survey question.... How stupid do you have to be to think that is measure of anything real?
