1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:03,360
Speaker 1: Stoke Dun, California, is amount to launch an experiment and

2
00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:07,160
Speaker 1: no strings, guaranteed basic income of five dollars a month

3
00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:11,840
Speaker 1: for its people to eliminate poverty. Supposedly. Now, they're going

4
00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:14,600
Speaker 1: to start with a select group of residents early next year.

5
00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:18,639
Speaker 1: Michael Tubbs, Stoke Dunes twenty seven year old mayor says

6
00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:20,759
Speaker 1: that those who get the free money are going to

7
00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:23,200
Speaker 1: be tracked and studied. He hopes that they'll collect enough

8
00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:26,440
Speaker 1: data in a few years to figure out the income

9
00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:30,400
Speaker 1: floor that people deserve. The money is not coming from

10
00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:34,800
Speaker 1: taxpayers yet. Yeah, the initial handout is from a group

11
00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:39,080
Speaker 1: calling itself the Economic Security Project. Facebook co founder Chris

12
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:43,760
Speaker 1: Hughes also co founded this hair brain scheme. Now he

13
00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:47,680
Speaker 1: hopes taxpayers will eventually pay five hundred dollars amount to

14
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:51,440
Speaker 1: every American earning under fifty thousand dollars a year so

15
00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:55,560
Speaker 1: that they can have income security. Now, as you would predict,

16
00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:58,320
Speaker 1: a bunch of Stoke Dun residents are drooling at the

17
00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:01,480
Speaker 1: idea to get free money. They're already sending letters and

18
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:05,000
Speaker 1: emails to the young mayor begging to make the list. Now,

19
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:08,880
Speaker 1: this is a special kind of stupid economic ignorance on steroids.

20
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:13,600
Speaker 1: It's not income security, it's job security. For liberals, playing

21
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:17,440
Speaker 1: Santa Claus with other people's money
