Speaker 1: Stoke Dun, California, is amount to launch an experiment and
Speaker 1: no strings, guaranteed basic income of five dollars a month
Speaker 1: for its people to eliminate poverty. Supposedly. Now, they're going
Speaker 1: to start with a select group of residents early next year.
Speaker 1: Michael Tubbs, Stoke Dunes twenty seven year old mayor says
Speaker 1: that those who get the free money are going to
Speaker 1: be tracked and studied. He hopes that they'll collect enough
Speaker 1: data in a few years to figure out the income
Speaker 1: floor that people deserve. The money is not coming from
Speaker 1: taxpayers yet. Yeah, the initial handout is from a group
Speaker 1: calling itself the Economic Security Project. Facebook co founder Chris
Speaker 1: Hughes also co founded this hair brain scheme. Now he
Speaker 1: hopes taxpayers will eventually pay five hundred dollars amount to
Speaker 1: every American earning under fifty thousand dollars a year so
Speaker 1: that they can have income security. Now, as you would predict,
Speaker 1: a bunch of Stoke Dun residents are drooling at the
Speaker 1: idea to get free money. They're already sending letters and
Speaker 1: emails to the young mayor begging to make the list. Now,
Speaker 1: this is a special kind of stupid economic ignorance on steroids.
Speaker 1: It's not income security, it's job security. For liberals, playing
Speaker 1: Santa Claus with other people's money
