Last I heard, the Pennsylvania GOP was stopping the idea. For reasons known only to those in charge.

A dumb comment. Many folks who are in bad circumstances - often as the result of a bad medical episode - are not there by choice. R's need to stop being arseholes whose only goal in life is to piss off as many people as possible.

So we should stop giving tax cuts to the wealthy then, right?

Yeah, they shouldn't be given tax breaks. Was this supposed to be a gotcha or something? Do you think I'm a bootlicker? Is it that extreme to that believe everyone should earn their own living and should also pay their taxes regardless of what that costs?

"Helping people who don't want to help themselves is bad" is a very bootlicker thing to say, comrade. But I agree, everyone should be able to earn their own living, that's why I support unions. But I also think that a UBI for people making under a certain amount would actually support people making a living. More money to spend at businesses could help wages increase, would give people more money to focus on their own goals like going to school or starting their own business.

The governor keeps pushing the idea but the legislature does not want to work with him or to provide him with any opportunity to look like he's doing something for the people of pennsyltucky so they shut down the idea. Plus, the R-controlled legislature wants to make sure there is enough dough in the coffers to fund their upcoming 9% pay raise (on top of the 5% they got last year).

Funny how they get pay raises like clockwork, but the average worker hasn’t gotten a raise in 13 years, and it absolutely wasn’t enough.
