So you are saying republicans don’t actually have a problem with socialism?
"Socialise the cost. Privatise the profits" is the motto.
Its communism for the rich at this point.
It's kind of infuriating that if you're wealthy you basically get basic income. You can put some of your money in safe stuff (high yield savings, bonds, whatever) and just get more money without working. But a poor person needs to debase themselves for food.
unless we start charging a few million for infants then who would pay for the system oter than those that "worked" for their socialism?
There are many approaches to this problem, but as a reminder and context setter I'd like you to look at "wealth to scale" https://dbkrupp.github.io/1-pixel-wealth/
