Guaranteed Jobs, Guaranteed Income, Guaranteed Baloney

Say! Wouldn’t it be great if the government gave everybody in America a guaranteed job—and a guaranteed income to go with it? Even better, wouldn’t it be nice if you could get that guaranteed income even if you didn’t work at all?
Jesse Myerson, an amoeba who was big in Occupy Wall Street, got progressives all excited Jan. 3 when he floated these ideas in a Rolling Stone column, “5 Economic Goals Millenials Should Be Fighting For.” The big “economic goal,” he explained is to “make participation in the labor force truly voluntary.”
As sure as a liberal will pick your pocket, these notions will soon emerge in a national election as part of the Democrat party platform. Why, asks Myerson, should anybody have to work to live? After all, he says, “work blows.” If your calling in life is to sit in bed playing video games, why shouldn’t America subsidize you? Why should you have to get out of your pajamas, except to visit the pool hall?
Do you think they’re joking? Progressive “thinkers” already have a fine-sounding name for this: Universal Base Income, UBI for short. That sounds so much better than “buying votes for Democrats” or “teaching people to be shiftless wastes of space.”
They aren’t kidding. In fact, this asinine scheme has been around for decades. In 1969 President Nixon proposed an annual government benefit to persons with children to support. In 1972 the Democrat presidential candidate, George McGovern, one-upped him by proposing an annual baksheesh check to anyone whose breath could fog a mirror. McGovern took one state out of 50 in the election, and Guaranteed Annual Income sank back into the murky waters of progressive “thought.”
Now it has emerged again.
Let’s see, now… guaranteed jobs. Didn’t there used to be people who had guaranteed jobs? Yes: slaves. When they finished building the Coliseum, they could be shipped out to the mines in Numidia, or drafted as gladiators, or auctioned off to wealthy landowners. They never had to worry about being out of work.
