    $1,000/month is not enough! Make mine at least $5,000/month, that seems like a reasonable floor...for now.

    My point is that the free money is never enough. $1,000/month is just the opening offer. It can and will go up from there. It has to, that's the nature of it.

    it's indexed to inflation -- so it goes up every year. does that help?

    The object is to give everyone all their money, then also tax it back away from them.

    Like a DP.

    I know your argument is false because my spellchecker deems "astroturfing" a not-word. Suck it hater!

    Did Yang fund 538 for the press?
