[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Liberal here, I do not approve.

Give them food stamps.  Health insurance.
Subsidize housing.
School Supplies.  Clothes.  Gas.
Education - skills, ESL, whatever is needed.

But not cash.  I want to know exactly what my taxes are being used for.

With guaranteed income programs,  you know exactly what your taxes are being used for: extra income for low-income families, to do what they believe will provide the most benefit for them.

I understand and I read the article.

It also could be used for mani pedis, cigarettes and booze.  Never mind anything illegal.

This is not what I want from a poverty relief program.  If we want to keep our poverty relief programs, they need to be palatable to some majority of taxpayers.  If even I can't get behind this, I can only imagine what conservative people think.[/quote]
