National sales tax, aka consumption tax, aka Fair Tax. Is the Right Wing head fake into UBI! I was tracking this back when this was warming up in the early 2000's. What you are not being told. Is that the new higher taxes will fearure a government "prebate" check. Or, whatever they choose to call it. A government payment, to compensate. This is especially what lower earners will come to depend on, but in time everyone. It will be marketed as the way to even the purchasing playing field. But, this is UBI, and we all will be made dependant in time.
I am no fan of our present income tax system, but we are being setup for worse. I am also not a Libertarian, or any of the political theatre groups. But, some Libertarians have been warning about the Fair Tax hook to UBI for decades.
Florida dipped into the low 30s where we live and we are getting a taste of what we left behind in Washington state!
I was pooper scooper for our 4H club’s part of the Veteran’s Day parade today. Lynn helped me and we found it quite funny that a combat veteran was scooping poop at the “tail end” of a parade meant to honor his service. Semper Fi!
We went to a kid rodeo today and saw mutton bustin’ for the first time. If you’re not familiar, it’s like bull riding but on a sheep and meant for little kids to learn. The sheep just haul tail as fast as they can. Most kids fall off in less than a second or two. This kid was not letting his sheep get off so easy.
