Everyone gets basic income if I understand it right no means testing. nobodies nose is rubbed in anything. (no bureaucracy to pay to do the means testing and nose rubbing )

For the rich it works like a standard deduction for the poor a payout it actually has a following and pedigree on the right. If I remember right.

Of course it won't cure the real evils of income inequality which is disenfranchisement and powerlessness. But it will pay the bills and give Mormon Bishops more time to focus on home teaching numbers.

Hahaha! That gave me a good belly laugh. You've got some insight into the mormon lingo. Hilarious. If I only had to worry about the numbers, this would be a much easier job.

I'm sorry for that. Utah can be a traumatic place to liveā€¦ for mormons too, but especially for anyone not of that faith.

but they have some of the finest skiing/snowboarding in the country.
