Far-left congresswoman Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., has released a plan that would pay lower- and middle-income Americans hundreds of dollars every month—in exchange for doing absolutely nothing.
The Washington Post reports, “Tlaib’s bill would give direct cash help to those at the bottom of the income distribution — annually offering $3,000 to individuals and $6,000 to families — in an attempt to reduce poverty in the United States and bolster the wages of the poor.”
In an interview with a Fox affiliate in Detroit, Tlaib called her plan “earned income tax credits on steroids.”
“This is basically a broader umbrella for families that make $50,000 or less if you are single, or $100,000 or less if you are a family,” Tlaib added.
The proposal offered by Tlaib, a member of the Democratic Socialists of America and political ally of socialist congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., would cost “trillions” of dollars, according to the Washington Post’s report, and serves as yet another reminder that many Democrats have absolutely no clue how basic economics works.
For starters, giving cash even to those who are unwilling to work would discourage them from finding a job, working more hours, or applying for a promotion. Why work harder—or even at all—if government is going to send you a check every month for doing nothing?

The face of the Libby party you'd like to punch...
What some people consider POVERTY in this country, people in other countries consider living in luxury!!!
PLUS if you want to take better care of the poor, get rid of all the illegal leaches and more money will be available for those that need it!!!
Bring it on!! Better to give our money back to us than to foreign countries and illegals
Ding ding ding. We have a winner...
They deserve nothing but deportation ASAP.
10:09 you idiot, this money is for the illegals already here! which will be then sent to another turd world country like the one she came from!
@10:45 how did you come up with that conclusion? The article merely stated people in that income bracket and families in that income bracket. Get over it already you bitch and moan about the illegal problem and the best you come up with is a post on a blog? The illegals are/will get whatever they desire because jerkoffs like you never do anything but cry about societies problems. Keep busting your ass I'm sure they appreciate your efforts
I would take it. As a single woman who makes less than $50,000/year I would definitely take it. This is the equivalent of $24.04/hour. I make $17.00/hour(which is considered good for this area for a woman.) I bring home $448/week after taxes, which I am thankful to make; however, when you have to pay $800/month (which is considered cheap) for rent, utilities, groceries, and hope your car doesn't need anything other than an oil change, this is tight. Christmas and birthdays are limited, and forget a vacation. I am thankful my car is paid for, and don't know what I will do when it needs repair or I need a new one. I have a savings of under $500, but it is a savings. Don't get a cat or dog because the food is an expense, and so is the vet. So, some say I am living the dream. I am grateful to be able to have what I do. Hopefully I will be able to repay those who have helped me along the way.
I hope I wake up and find all these wacko ideas were just a bad dream.
Just move to a commie socialist country stay home 24/7 with ur hand out.
That's what I want to do with my hard earned money - support some lazy, stupid ass. NOT❗
