[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Am I crazy for reading this and thinking there should just be a universal basic income? Give this poor family twenty grand a year. Give all the poor families twenty grand. Ridiculous that this woman prays to god for the "right" diagnoses, but she's desperate, uneducated, and broke. Tax the rich. [/quote] I was coming here to post just this very thought. I think universal basic income is something that should be explored. I'm rich even by DCUM standards and would be fine with taxes on this (I'm also fine with the ACA supplemental taxes including on capital gains). I have a child with severe ASD and intellectual disabilities - he may never be able to read or engage at anything greater than a preschool/kindergarten level, so I would hope that supplemental social security would be reserved for him and others who truly need it, like the one young woman with Mosaic downs in the piece.
