This is suck a progressive written article for the push of socialism. What a Frinkin joke! ! You damn well know it is getting pushed in the beltway. Yes they will take it like they do lots of government assistance - tax-free health care contributions by their employers, real estate mortgage interest tax deductions, Medicare, Social Security, everything else they are pushing now.

As we have careers change due to technology so do people. There will always be a need for doctors and medical people. Even if we make a robot that is an IA Doctor surgical robot we will still need people doctors. The same can go for any industry.

David Wheeler: U.S. should provide a monthly cash payment to every American

Wheeler: A guaranteed minimum income can address unemployment issue

He says it would be a psychological benefit, lift the economy, and create stability

Wheeler: It is also cheaper than our current malfunctioning safety net


Maybe this Wheeler character can lead by example and divide his income up between all his students evenly?

Didn't McGovern promise some such BS back in the 1960s or 70s?

What a joke trying to compare this concept with the Alaska Permanent Fund Dividend. The Alaska Permanent Fund is an account of "real" money, not Chinese IOUs. A portion of the funds five year earnings average is distributed to Alaska residents. The amount for 2013 was $900.
