Not having any extra money for any thing at all and you know, things happen. My name is tre crowder. I got attention on the internet for these videos i made featuring a character called the liberal read try crowd or little read, try crowder long time, no scheme. I want to talk to you about something. Its deeply personal to me. Pales lot of asked me what id like about bio matter. Well, put simply i find that i do for a long time when i was a young adult, i didnt have health insurance, you know. And so i, i wouldnt do i enter mural sports and stuff like that at college. Sincerely because i was like, well, you know, what about blow money out or something. Im screwed. And those just those types of things just knowing that youre on the precipice of ruin all the time. Yeah. Its extremely stressful. And i know for a fact just statistically that a lot of people in this country are live in that day to day. You know all the time, only 40 percent of usaa does have enough savings to cover a 1000. 00 emergency. We have record numbers of americans who are on the verge of having their cars repossess more than a 137000000 americans are facing Financial Hardship because of medical debt. My son couldnt afford the like said, the saving medication. He needed, the worsening on a planet picture is simply staggering. The pandemic is also causing many to go hungry. My bills are going to back up and im going to be enjoyable here. Hell believe Student Loan Debt in the United States has doubled 40 percent of americans. 65 and older are in default. Thats always gonna be there for me. Personally, i heard about the idea of a universal basic income and was pretty immediately of the opinion. Well, there you go, thats at least a solution because were gonna have to do something. The idea is this. Every citizen in this country would receive a 1000. 00 a month every month. No Strings Attached that might seem far fetched to you, but it could be a potential improvement over some of our existing welfare programs that i grew up in only wrong. Im grateful for them, but i kind of look back on those programs and food stamps and all that the same way that i look back on the final season, a game of thrones. Im still glad that it exists, but it could have and should have been. So much better way deserved better. You be, i is actually not a new idea. It in america, you can trace it back to one of our founding fathers, thomas pain. You know, the guy who 1st convince people that american independence might be a good idea. Hes not the only one. Martin luther king junior was for you. We are all one evangelist. Seems to me, is a guaranteed annual income or guaranteed minimum income fall, or people ample families arrived from 1969. Richard nixon even proposed an actual plan to congress. Let us play so far under the income of every family with children. Ah, and without those, the meaning sold, stifling of bronze for Human Dignity that sold by the lives of well for welfare children. The day. One state in america actually already has a form of basic income, alaska. Each year they take a portion of the states oil revenue and distribute it to every man. Woman and child should be an example for the world or emulate. The Alliance Goes over being serenely proud of it because its a whole new concept of people owning the resources and government having to take their money back from the people in federal government. Getting the money and partially moved out. And socialistic program is exactly the opposite of what some people term, the dividend to be socialistic. Its capitalistic to like screen. Okay, so theyve got oil up in alaska, but how do we pay for basic income and the rest of the country . Taxes . Yeah, i said it the dreaded t word, but yes, actually its time to incorporate welfare, get big tech to pay its fair share and use tax mechanisms to create the strongest safety net the world has ever seen. And all these rich people can rest easy knowing the extra money they give back isnt going to some big sold Us Government bureaucracy. Its going directly to the people social justice. Get with it me or tell me why im from a small town a lot, especially in the south. It can end up in this like sort of a small town contest thing where its like now my home town smaller than yours. And i feel like thats an argument that i typically win because its really, really small. I remember saladas this psych clients little southern town with you know, some charm to it and the Football Team was good. The tailed squire was, you know, just little mama, businesses a store for us, that type of thing. And everything was fine. But at the beating heart of the towns economy was this big clothing factory where most people worked. And thats where my mom worked. Thats for as long as their Community Work and my neighbor caller to come out there for a long time and then my toughs, my dad, he was, he was the healing engineer and my mom, she actually so ever body and saw that you talk to him, hes worked oshkosh, oshkosh, that lost cash that and if you heard osh kosh, my gosh, or whatever. Yeah, for decades, the center, the towns economy was large, cloud and factory in, in the mid ninetys after now have to it made like a stoner at midnight and went south of the border. And we never recovered. Theres been no real industry thats come in there in the 20 plus years since and as far as im aware, theres not anything major in that regard on the horizon. So selina, in my opinion is like a textbook example of the top place that would benefit a lot from a basic income. And that also from a sensible youd think to people there would be all for it would. But i dont know that that is true. There it is saying the crime is there osh kosh, my gosh, factory, yes, my gosh, you did. How long do you know how long it was here . The factory was here and when he close, people had worked there. 40 years, go ahead. After here i was in business up the street and there was a little wind blowing through town that may be a factory was going to be close. And i mean people stopped coming in to the restaurant in spend in for bucks on you know, a sub or Something Like that. If it was 3 for 5. 00, people stop spinning it. You know, youve got the cafe may mon pon dad. Youre running the video store in the car lot and that by the time i graduate high school, its literally all gone. It was say, and not all, not only is that all gone but like, you know, all the stuff with mama are getting all strong. Ill be able to jail him my, my wife changed tremendously for the worse. Just like everybody else is around here when that happened. Well, in my get affected like literally everything and pretty much the ripple linux and other than that see yeah, i know, you know, that was, i mean yeah, thats just the hits just kept on common with. Im saying, i think there will be a lot of people that will say i wanna, i mean, i dont know handy. Yeah. Im not looking for hand. Well, i just want to work bringing, bringing the jobs back. Thats what you know to do politicians, but like, i mean, can you easily envision a lot of people responding to it that way . Oh yeah, i can see that. Right. Well i think thats going to be elijah. I would love to also see how they respond. If he could kick him once and ride his last day, right, lets see what they did with the gra. Presumably they basta or you know, finally get like the fan belt fixed on their car or whatever that ive been put in for forever. But im saying theyre going to go to some mechanic around here to do that. You want to main, like theoretically, a big portion of it would get, like pump strike back into just pure the general economy. Because there has been in all things that they need, that they havent been buying in a long time because i had no money to do the idea of giving Unconditional Cash might not sit well with everybody. I know thats a shocker. How does this out . A paycheck every month, even if you do not have a job, i think is a continuation towards the road of socialism in america. Well, there should be a 2nd chance, not a way of life. Were going to take from you over here to give to you over here, because thats what were going to do. The universal basic income when youre taxing people and redistributing well without marriage, that encourages lazy. What forced Warren Buffett to work hard with forced this guy to work hard, not handling them a check. You cannot appreciate something fundamentally that you get for free. With in Magnolia Mothers trust it providing a guaranteed in time to low income African American women in their family. So the medical you my distress, its doing this in the form of a 1000. 00 a month for 12 months. I am so excited. Its like my 2nd shell in the matter of months. I had 2 kids and 2018 in that. No you mothers trust is one of them. It is taking a population that worked so hard to be seen on a daily basis. And really saying we see, we honor your stories, we believe in you and we trust that you know what it is that you need for your family now. You mm hm.

And i mean is now are, are you have to break the cycle somewhere . And so therefore i be it more to jason and i broke the like dis, a 1000. 00 a month, no strings search now to use a hair. Well, i will. Light them means i dont know, i just wont go crazy. Oh, oh, that one night when mamma babies were here, we actually fell asleep on the couch. And oh so my son was right here.

I will get back in school, pay out some days and continue to raise my credit score. So that i can get the home that i want for me and my load was a post estimate. Sure, i keep a twinge with a push with a different benefit. You wont have to push my luck with a bunch of them cool for you for your for holding the picture where it is using this to hold. You go to the broker insurance card company or what it covers it. Ive got the new book with more do this can but if they put us. 5 on the system we just lets put a boy e. Yeah, good us on a do cost cause i thought if she was the last no, with a local so to was with a late, what is her just to let the estimate the moment when you with the line with everything is changing and one of the elements of this picture is the desperate attack of the west or counter attack to stop the duration of their positions. They decided to concentrate on russia. And their real aim is, of course saving their 500 years of their domination. And they made the intermediate, a based on demand china. Now a bunch of domains, china, they have to 1st to take out rush. Mm. All of the individuals that we work with Living Communities where they receive housing vouchers, we really are trying to figure out the impact and benefits when cash um is infused into these situations where individuals are highly subsidized. But then also were trying to get a better understanding of how the women themselves are able to show up. Are they less stress . Are they more engaged in their local community . Are there more engaged in our kids school . Are they more engaged in their own self care . Are they able to now look towards career and not just the job because they hail their freedom . Ah, more easily in shirt omeo, pretty much getting up a fire, getting all the middle one juris. There were 80 sections of the bus stop police by 545. Didnt him off the school were actually come back of the house. Oldest one. Shes getting ready. Publish wires. Millennium is 6. 55. Actually having to rush back home. Get the baby ready to take your so my moms house is entering the. Busy terrible tooth when you get back out and come along, sir, come, let me see, let me see, can i see d rady myself in also be in clay as a like 720. Some like risha. Oh did you . Oh. So i think the lack of sleep is marian challenge and i wont so least get to a point in my life where im actually working a good paying job. I wanna job this is just gonna make is me. I want to be able to save it. You know, take trib, so do all the phase 2. So in a reason that i am a fan of guaranteed income because it is this idea that everybody is deserve it just by virtue of your being here, you deserve a life where you and your family can bribe you deserve a life where you can actually dream you deserve a life where you can actually those dreams is going to help us really, really like really, really a lot. Im very side about these are not really having too many like loser. Just tell you or you, you have to spend it on or how, how will she have this me . Let me say, and i said i was on tam, if these letters for gays, you have to put this, this is for j as in terms of asian work, he sees a doctor, i see you a little tears. You cant say food 1000 pale. I be a like he cant take food stamps and get your medicine. So is, is a big difference. Being able to just going to everything i need to go with is gonna be exciting. I think most of america believe that our systems work that we have welfare and we have these safety nets and they actually are doing what theyre supposed to be doing. And thats not true. Thats actually a myth. Most folks dont quite understand how complicated these various systems are in, in the complication of these systems, but theyre not why theyre just ineffective. For example, if youre on pena, youre caseworker cuz they okay, you have 2 weeks to get a job, but no support is provided and getting that job. No child care is provided, why youre looking for their job. If you do not have a job within 2 weeks, you are sanctioned. In most cases that means that you will lose your nest for 90 days. What that means is that for 90 days you have no way of ensuring that church household, your kid is half full, take a moment less this thinking thats also why a lot of individuals choose not to fool with tana. Because who can run the risk of not being able to feed their kids. Oh, sorry. Oh, okay. And instead of recognizing that is the policies that are wrong were blaming the families were saying, oh family, someone at o. R o family, someone or you know, have to take the drug test that were required in the tape because they are on drugs. Now is none of that. If you went out and had conversations, you could actually really get to what the problems are with these policies that are being implemented. And i think our current staffing assistant is now working in so i believe that a guaranteed income is an opportunity for us to rewrite a system. Everybody deserves to be able to take care of their child. Everybody deserves to be able to have safe and adequate housing. Everyone deserves to be able to so depend on a meal, a society that cannot take care of its children, society, they cannot take care of its elders. A society that leaves people in the cold without options cannot call is so civilized were trying to elevate and push towards a dignity economy and economy, which focuses on the inherent dignity of every person and show that that actually operates in the best interest of all citizens we have to equip mothers to be able to care for their children. And the more were able to do that, the more whole society were raising, the more whole circumstances and conditions where lifting up so that we can make certain that we create these dignity economies. We should say, ah, in america, we do have a welfare system in place to help people who are struggling financially, but its a conditional system. You have to prove to the government that you truly need help. And if that doesnt immediately sound unfair to you, consider that different peoples different financial woes can be very wide ranging hard to quantify, typically time sensitive and overall, just generally speaking, pretty damn complicated to sort out. Luckily for them, every american knows that our government ex sales at resolving complex and nuanced issues and an efficient and judicious manner right . As job. Now its in fact is the opposite in our system as well and truly broken. But lets imagine for a 2nd, the you are deemed worthy of receiving government support. The minute you get a job and your income increases, that support will decrease, sank about the incentives of that i can make it so that doesnt make Financial Sense to take a job if its a low paying job. If you are a single parent, you need child care for when youre working. You can be successful in your job. Search and end up worse off than you were before when you were on government assistance alone. Thats called a poverty trap. Be universal, basic income, on the other hand, is an unconditional system. You dont have to prove that you deserve anything. You dont have to constantly jump through bureaucratic hopes. You dont have to choose between working a job and actually being able to afford your bills. Because under u. B i, every one will always be better off with a job you be. I can be an economic floor on which we all can stay at one to let you know were having a town hall discussion and cook at laura. Im handing out flyers. Were event were having tomorrow. At the courthouse, my name is alma lucky and im an associate professor of practice and Political Science at n y u shanghai. Asa, its going to be right across the street at the courthouse, a pan. Were going to talk about ways of bringing Economic Vitality to towns likes lawana. I think it was great if people really understood what the basic income is. I think it be great if this was something that they started to talk to candidates about as well. So that we can bring broader attention to the idea based income and get the voices of ordinary people rather than just academics like me, a room for the simplest away like explain a basic income is that its like Social Security for the rest of us. A basic income would be a Monthly Payments that would go to everyone. I think if we get these details right, basic income can eliminate poverty. Can increase Economic Security for working folks and can give a boost to local economies like the economy of selena. Does it sound good to you . That doesnt sound too good to be true. Yeah. Mm mm. For to load up with faith. Hope in our sort of go by. Exactly one of them. Okay, heres one on your, where are you going to put money on your electric . And then, you know, youre wondering how youre going to get that back and i have no clue that back, but would rather my bills be paid entering me on my finger such as i say it, i dont, i wouldnt be rich by any means. I dont want and handed him, i just want to be able to pay money for my kids. Thats all i want to be on. Last tuesday, my husband went to charge for court over his oldest daughter, not our 3, but his oldest oldest one, asia that judge. Look, i just got a job and ill start paying, however much shortly to pay. That wasnt good enough that he is be in the 180. 00 days or until his family can come up with 7700. 00 and a lot of money to me. 10. 00 in a lot of money to share with him. God, what do you use for christmas . What he knew . No is still like no harder are charged for my kids to be normal. For further they go back in one of the feminist arguments for basic income is that for a very long time, care work as being devalued. Weve devalued care work as a society. And if we think about what really matters to include society to a society where apps liable to flourish, then of course realize that care should be put much more on the center of our conception of a good to say be the kingdom by being unconditional. Enables people to make the choice to spend more time caring for others. Why will we tax the wealthy for basic income . Is because we hate the wealthy or we we resent them for their success. No, its because theyre the ones were benefiting from the economy. As it is right now, theyre the ones were doing well, move them, were not gonna take all their money. Well, let them keep. And after that, they are incentivized to keep doing the work that they do. We want to reward entrepreneurs. We want to reward people who take business risks. We want to reward people who create jobs for other americans. But we take some of their, some of the gains that theyre making and we share it with everybody. And that not only has the effect of reducing economic insecurity and eliminating poverty, it also has the effect of putting resources in the hands of the people who know best what to do for their own communities. With willing absolutely no cranium. Tv toys. Yeah. Actually yeah, i did, she ship a control in particular bought so shes, shell need to get the mo, the by like the system really being the other than that did not sing the Vice President of messing with tim chuckle room. Theres a lot of the my subway, but just story ish donuts. I live here, the least get us whichever we ship them a, a one the before. And you could to reach a drop these to put up your nestle pretty real quick to take a picture of. Ill go double play, you go so good. Im up with a year and i give it a shot.
