1:33 pm
the freedom to start a small business to freedom, to leave an abusive relationship. the freedom to just not have to worry about money every single 2nd of every day. the plumbing up until literally the last 2 years of my life lives been like one emergency situation away from some plate. financial catastrophe. basically, i just, i live in paycheck to project, not having any extra money for any thing at all and you know, things happen. my name is tre crowder. i've got attention on the internet for these videos i made featuring a character called the liberal read drake. router, little read, what's a try, crowded long time? no scheme. i want to talk to you about something is deeply personal to my tails.
1:34 pm
lot people asked me what to think about by of matter. well, put simply, i find that they do for a long time when i was a young adult, i didn't have health insurance, you know? and so i wouldn't do i intramural sports and stuff like that in college. right? since really because i was like, well, you know, when i blow my knee out or something, i'm screwed and those just those types of things just knowing that you're on the precipice. so if i take ruin all the time. yeah. it's extremely stressful. and i know for a fact just typically that a lot of people in this country are live in that day to day. you know, all the time, only 41 percent of us adults have enough savings to cover a $1000.00 emergency. we have record numbers of americans who are on the verge of having their cars repossess more than a 137000000 americans are facing financial hardship because of medical that my son couldn't afford to live, sit in the saving medication. he needed, the worsening on
1:35 pm
a planet picture is simply staggering. the pandemic is also causing many to go hungry. my bills are going to back up, but i'm going to be in trouble here. couple, a student loan debt in the united states has doubled 40 percent of americans. 65 and older are in default. that's always going to be there for me. personally, i've heard about the idea of a universal basic income. it was pretty immediately of the opinion. well, there you go, so that's at least a solution cuz we're going to have to do something. the idea is this. every citizen in this country would receive a $1000.00 a month every month, no strings attached that might seem far fetched to you, but it could be a potential improvement over some of our existing welfare programs that agra russell and don't get me wrong. i'm grateful for him, but i kind of look back on those programs and food stamps and all that the same way that i look back on the final season, a game of thrones. i'm still glad that it exists, but it could have and should have been. so much better, we deserve better. you be,
1:36 pm
i is actually not a new idea. in america, you can trace it back to one of our founding fathers, thomas paint, you know, the guy who 1st convince people that american independence might be a good idea. he's not the only one. martin luther in junior was for you, we are one of answers and seems to me is are guaranteed to annual income, a guaranteed minimum income of people and pro family is about 1969. richard nixon even proposed an actual plan to congress, let us place a floor under the income of every family with children in america. and without those demeaning soul tie when your friends for human dignity, that's all bite the lives a welfare of welfare children of the day. one state in america actually already has a form of basic income alaska. each year they take a portion of the states oil revenue and distributed to every man, woman and child,
1:37 pm
to be an example for the world and the lights. and the last comes out to be extremely proud of that, because as a whole concept of people owning your resources, the government having to take the money back from the people instead of the government getting the money and partially moved out. and socialistic program is exactly the opposite of what some people turn the dividend to be socialistic. it's capitalistic village screen. okay, so they've got oil up in alaska, but how do we pay for basic income and the rest of the country? taxes? yeah, said it the dreaded t word, but yes, actually it's time to in corporate welfare, get big tech to pay its fair share and use tax mechanisms to create the strongest site in that the world has ever saved. and all these rich people can rest easy knowing the extra money they give back isn't going to some big sold us government bureaucracy. it's going directly to the people social justice. get with it, the ones that we will have from
1:38 pm
a small town. a lot of times, especially in the south, it can end up in this like sort of a small town contest thing where it's like now my hometown, smaller than yours. and i feel like that's an argument to that typically when, because it's a really, really small i remember saladas dislikes clients, little southern town with you know, some charm to it. and the football team was good. the child square was, you know, just little mom and pop businesses, a store for us, that type of thing. and everything was fine. but at the beating heart of the town was economy. it was as big clothing factory where most people worked. and that's for my mom works best for me. i might ever caller to come out there for a long, long time. and then i might tubs. my dad, he was,
1:39 pm
he was the head engineer. and my mom, she actually so every body and so on, that you talked to this worked osh kosh, osh kosh and fast kosh, that, and if you heard of us, costco, gosh, or whatever. yeah, for decades the center of the towns economy was large clothing factory and then the mid ninety's after now i have to it my buckets down at midnight and went south of the border and we never recovered. there's been no real industry that's come in there and the 20 plus year sands. and as far as i'm aware, there's not anything major in that regard on the horizon so. so on the, in my opinion is like a textbook example of the top place that would benefit a lot from a basic income. and it also understands where you'd like to people. there would be all for it with, but i don't know that that is true. the, there it is saying that the crime, these, they ask us for gosh, factories. yes,
1:40 pm
my gosh, you did. how long do you know how long it was here? the factory was here and when he clothes people had worked there, 40 years you'll have after here. i was in business up the street and there was a little wind blowing through town that maybe a factory was going to be close. and i mean people stop coming into the restaurant and spending 4 bucks on, you know, a sub or something like that. if it was $34.00, or $5.00, people stop spinning it, you know, you've got the cafe move on on that are running the video store and the car lot. and that by the time i graduated high school it's, it's literally all going to say and not all, not only is that all gone but like, you know, all the stuff with mama are getting all strung out on the, on the jail my, my life changed tremendously. for the worse,
1:41 pm
just like everybody else is around here when that happens, you know, and like it affected like literally everything and pretty much the ripple effects under the end of the see. yeah, i know, you know, that was, i mean yeah, i was like the, the hits just kept on coming. the, the i'm saying i think there will be a lot of people that will say, well, i know, i mean, i don't know hand. yeah. i'm not looking for hand. well here's the white bring, bring the job back. that's what you need to do. politicians, but like, i mean can easily envision a lot of people responding to it that way. oh yeah, i can see that. right. well, i think that's going to be the problem. i would love to also see how they respond to that check. right, right. let's see what they did. right? presumably they biased or, you know, finally get like the find bout fixed on their car, whatever that i've been put you on for forever. but i'm saying they're going to go
1:42 pm
to some mechanic around here to do that. you know what i mean? like see a radically, a big portion of it would get like pump straight back into just sure the general economy because they're gonna spinning all the things that they need, that they haven't been buying in a long time cuz i ain't had no money to do the idea of giving unconditional cash may not sit well with everybody. i know that's a shock or how does this out a pay check every month, even if you do not have a job. i think it's a continuation towards the road of socialism in america welfare should be a 2nd chance and not a way of life. we're going to take from you over here to give to you over here, because that's what we're going to do with the universal base again, come when you're texting people and redistributing walls without marriage, that he encourages lazy that forced warren buffett to work hard with forced this guy to work hard, not handling them a check. you can not appreciate something fundamentally that you get for free. the
1:43 pm
next you might, this trust is providing a guaranteed income to low income african american women and their families. so the men know you must trust. it's doing this in the form of a $1000.00 a month for 12 months. i am so excited. it's like my 2nd child in the matter a month. so i have 2 kids and 2018 and they know you mothers trust is one of the it is taking a population that works so hard to be seen on a daily basis. and really saying we see, we honor your stories, we believe in you and we trust that you know what it is that you need for your family. now that will lead us from industry for gay is so support my kids tell me pay
1:44 pm
bills and have enough to stretch from month to month when my mom was in abusive relationships. my dad was very, very so when i got this in my relationship model as she was abusive and i was like, when never ever put my kids in jeopardy. oh, all in a relationship that i mean it's not working for. you have to break the cycle somewhere and so that's what i did. i'm going to jason, and i brought this a $1000.00 a month. no strings attached. if you use i have, i would like them moves. i don't know. i just won't go crazy. for one night when mamma pages were here, we actually fell asleep on the couch. and oh, same that's what was right here,
1:45 pm
right outside the door. the shots are the 1st thing they came to my mind. square up my babies. as to you for my life and i knew, but at the moment i'm nice to you here forever. i will get back to school, pay off some dis agency to raise my for the score so that i can get the home that i want for me. and my little the,
1:46 pm
to all of the individuals that we work with, living communities where they receive housing vouchers, we really are trying to figure out the impact and benefits when cash is infused into these situations where individuals are highly subsidized. but then also we're trying to get a better understanding of how the women themselves are able to show up. are they less stress? are they more engaged in their local community or they're more engaged in our kids school? are they more engaged in their own self care? are they able to now look towards careers and not just the job because they have the freedom, the, the, the blue shirt. um, you know, pretty much getting up verify. getting the middle one dressed and ready,
1:47 pm
take him to the bus. stop a lease by $545.00. do you need him off of school or actually come back to the house? oh, this one she's getting ready? probably this will arrive no later than 655, actually having to rush back home, get the baby ready to take him to my mom's house is entering the. busy turbo tuesday, once you get that code and come along, sir, come, let me see, let me see, can i see the rating myself and also be in place a like 720 some light rushing. the so i think of the lack of sleep is very challenging. i want to at least get to a point in my life where i'm actually working a good paying job. our job this is just going to make is me. i want to be able to, in saving, you know,
1:48 pm
take trips and do all of the things too. so and the reason that i am a fan of guaranteed income because it is this idea that everybody is deserving. just by virtue of your being here, you deserve a life for you and your family can drive you deserve a life where you can actually dream you deserve a life where you can actually. so streams is going to help us really, really like really, really a lot i'm very size about these are not really having too many like rules or just tell you what are you that you have to spend it on, or how much she have to say let me say to nurse, when i was on tanf the somebody's for gays, you have to put this, this is for gas and transportation. well, he see that i see you. i'm not here.
1:49 pm
you can say food stamps and pay lie. be like, you can't take food stamps and get your medicine. so is, is a big difference. being able to just go and do everything i need to go with is going to be exciting. i think most of america believes that our systems work. that's that we have welfare and we have these safety nets and they actually are doing what it is that they're supposed to be doing. and that's not true. this actually a myth. most folks don't quite understand how complicated these various systems are in, in the complication of the systems that they're not wife. and you're just in effect that for example, if you're on 10 of your case worker to say ok, you have 2 weeks to get a job, but no support is provided and getting that job, no child care is provided. why you are looking for the job. if you do not have a job within 2 weeks and you are sanctioned, in most cases that means that you will lose your smith for 90 days to what that
1:50 pm
means is that for 90 days you have no way of ensuring insured household. you are to have for take a moment list this thinking and that's also why a lot of individuals choose not to fool with tana, because who can run the risk of not being able to feed their kids. i need 3. 0, okay. and instead of recognizing that is the policies that are wrong were blaming the families, were saying, oh family. so one of the work r o family, someone are, you know, have to take the drug test that we're requiring them to take because their own drugs now is none of that. if you went out and had conversations, you could actually really get to what the problems are with these policies that are being implemented. i think our current safety net system is not working. and so i believe that a guaranteed income is an opportunity for us to rewrite the system. the
1:51 pm
everybody deserves to be able to take care of their child. every body deserves to be able to have safe and adequate housing. everyone deserves to be able to depend on a meal, a society they cannot take care of its children, society, they cannot take care of its elders. society that leads people in the coal without options, cannot call the self civilized we're trying to elevate and push towards a dignity economy, an economy which focuses on the inherent dignity of every person and show that that actually operates in the best interest of all citizens. we have to equip mothers to be able to care for their children. and the more we're able to do that, the more whole society we're raising, the more hol, circumstances and conditions where lifting up so that we can make certain that we create these dignity economies. we should say
1:52 pm
the in america, we do have a welfare system in place to help people who are struggling financially, but it's a conditional system. you have to prove to the government that you truly need help . and if that doesn't immediately sound unfair to you, consider that different people's different financial lows can be very wide ranging hard to quantifier typically time sensitive and overall, just generally speaking pretty damn complicated to sort out. luckily for them, every american knows that our government ex sales at resolving complex and nuanced issues and an efficient and judicious manner. rise as joe. now it's in fact is the opposite in our system as well and truly broken. but let's imagine for a 2nd that you are deemed worthy of receiving government simple. the minute you get a job and your income increases that support will decrease. think about the
1:53 pm
incentives of that that can make it so that it doesn't make financial sense to take a job if it's a low paying job. if you are a single parent, you need child care for when you're working. you can be successful in your job, search and end up worse off than you were before when you were on government assistance alone. that's called a poverty trap. the universal basic income, on the other hand, is an unconditional system. you don't have to prove that you deserve anything. you don't have to constantly jump through bureaucratic hopes. you don't have to choose between working of jobs and actually being able to afford your bales because under you be i, everyone will always be better off with a job you be. i can be an economic slower on which we all can stay at the one to let you know we're having a townhome discussion and cook out tomorrow. i'm just heading out flyers for event . we're having tomorrow at the courthouse. my name is alma so lucky and i'm an associate professor of practice in political science at n y u shanghai. asa,
1:54 pm
it's going to be right across the street at the courthouse. ok. and we're going to talk about ways of bringing economic vitality to town. so it's one of the thank you, a rate is people really understood with the basic income is i think it be great if this is something that they started to talk to candidates about as well. so that we can bring the broader attention to the idea based income and get the voices of ordinary people rather than just academics like me. the the simplest way that i can explain a basic income is that it's like social security for the rest of us. a basic income would be a monthly payments that would go to everyone. i think if we get these details right, basic income can eliminate poverty,
1:55 pm
can increase economic security for working folks. and can give a boost to local economies like the economy of sa lajna, that sound good to you. that doesn't sound too good to be true, the face. how sort of go by. exactly what other. okay, here's one more fond your wedding ring to put money on your electric. and then you know, you're wondering how you're going to get that back and i have no clue. i'm going to give that back. that would rather my bills be pays entering the on my fingers, especially as i say, i don't, i don't want to be rich by any means. i don't want,
1:56 pm
it isn't easy to i just want to be able to pay my bill for my kids. that's all i want to be able to get last thursday. my husband went to child support court over his oldest daughter, not fire 3, but his oldest or this one age of that judge. look, i just got a job and i'll start paying. however much will it will pay most of it. that wasn't good enough that here's the answer to $180.00 days or until february can come up with $700.00 about $700.00 in waterbury to be $10.00 is a lot of money today. so with hand on, what do you use for christmas? what do you know mean to the income? no. here and they're still like, the harder i drive for my kids to be normal. the further they go back, the
1:57 pm
one of the feminist arguments for basic income is that for very long time care work as being devalued. we've devalued care work as the site and if we think about what really matters to in good society to a society where people liable to flourish, then of course realize that care shouldn't be put too much more on the center of the conception of a good to say, music income by being unconditional, enables people to make the choice to spend more time caring for others. the why will we tax the wealthy for basic income? is because we take the wealthy or we, we resent them for their success. no, it's because they're the ones we're benefiting from the economy. as it is right now,
1:58 pm
they're the ones we're doing well. the right, we're not gonna take all their money. well, let them cheap enough so that they are incentivized to keep doing the work that they do. we want to reward entrepreneurs. we want to reward people who take business risks and want to reward people who create jobs for other americans. but we take some of their, some of the gains that they're making and we share it with everybody. and that not only has the effect of reducing economic and security and eliminating poverty. it also has the effect of putting resources in the hands of the people who know best, what to do for their own communities. the
1:59 pm
