Looks like you didn't read my post. I am not saying everyone basically gets the same, like in socialism. I ask about people receiving an addition to whatever they earn anyways. Things would not change other than that. Please, either learn about what socialism is or read my post.

Looks like you didn't understand my post. If you do not understand that your proposal is wealth redistribution, and that this could have reduced incentive to work as an effect, well...

Only for a while though, if your 1000$ bonus is fixed and not adjusted for inflation, it would soon be pretty worthless...

By the way, the reduced incentive thingie is still somewhat debatable, whereas claiming this proposal wouldn't result in inflation is downright laughable...

Please, either think some more about what you are proposing or stop giving arrogant answers.

EDIT: Afterwards I realised this wasn't a very mature reply, I know you mean no harm, I was just quite pissed at the time :-)
