LETTER

Universal Basic Tax for all  

Honestly, is everyone crassly gullible?  Since when have governments – you know, those organizations that have just spent the last 4,000 years pouring away your tax dollars starting wars, green-lighting slavery, committing genocide and murdering dissidents – since when have governments ever been altruistic and generous? Governments remain the best in town at emptying your wallet.  Do you honestly think that they will just hand out money for nothing? If Universal Basic Income comes in, it will be just a few months before Universal Basic Tax, will follow, where everyone will also have a minimum tax to pay.

And, if you are honest enough to refuse UBI, beware, you could end up with a Universal Basic Tax that is multiples of your actual income.

People, a vote for UBI is a vote for UBT which will gut your finances with a minimum tax figure to pay, even if you’ve spent the year in a hospital bed in a coma, and will put a Revenu Quebec official in every home... at your own expense.
