On Varney, I watched a candidate say he will win in 2020 because he will give every person in the USA a salary of $1000 per month and everybody will vote for it.
When asked how he will pay for it....VAT on everything @ 10%.

$3,900,000,000,000
Three trillion 900 million. Per year.
That's the cost of this looney tunes idea.
EDIT: Total GDP in 2016 was 18.57 trillion.
Assuming (haha) VAT on total GDP, we would have to enact a VAT of over 20% to pay for this. On everything. Everything.

Was this candidate Scrooge McDuck?
Because doing something like that would require orchards and orchards of money trees.

$1000 is not enough to maintain middle class living.
I would give everyone $5000/month and no tax increase.
Please vote ME in 2020 presidential campaign.

Does this idiot not realize that a VAT on everything will just increase the cost of living by $1,000 a month or more?

And then he said everyday would be pizza day in the lunchroom and that homework would be outlawed.

A VAT will substantially raise the price on everything we buy, which will possibly eliminate that $1,000 given by Uncle Sam every month, depending on how much people buy stuff.
It's like Schrodinger's Communism. It's both "real communism" and "not real communism" until you find out how many people are killed by it.

He'll lose because every loser and bum will vote for him and anyone who pays taxes as a working citizen will realize they don't need $1000/month of their own money to come from the government.

Everything is going along exactly according to my forecasts for the demise of the USA!

How do some of these candidates actually tie their own shoes?

He'll get the BernieBros on board if the throws in free college and student loan forgiveness.
He could get the pussy hats if he offers free tampons and birth control.

When they got done with the interview, did the guy pick up his cardboard sign, put his tinfoil hat back on, and resume telling everyone in Times Square that the end of the world is nigh?

Kay Ivey needs to run on the "escape plan" platform, because if the other states in this republic elect a President based on the $1000/mos free-money campaign, it's time to go. Not a civil war, not to pick a fight, just barricade the Interstates, grow crops, ride out the burning of Rome.

1000 a month? how do you live off of that?
Posted on 4/23/18 at 10:16 am to Jjdoc
~250 million adults in the U.S.
$1,000 per month, per adult = $250 billion per month.
$250 billion per month x 12 months = new entitlement of $3 trillion per year, which is a 65 to 70 percent increase over our current bloated budget - assuming we could reduce some redundancy from some programs (this would presumably replace food stamps, housing assistance, SS disability and even portions of SS retirement) - 10% VAT ain't going to get you to $3T - maybe $1T, maybe $1.5T, but it would crush retail (killing the golden goose - retail is most of what the U.S. has left) and generate a flourishing black market to avoid this VAT.
