Reply #55: And what happens to those who don't fit in with such an approach?

"The same amount of governmental expense would be better spent to set up a "free college" system for all students who achieve a B or Better GPA...and national health care system, paid for by taxation."

What happens to the disabled, the non-working poor, and those who cannot achieve a B or better average? Throw them to the wolves? And if everyone has a college education, who will do the "unskilled" jobs?

Single-payer health care and free college are fine. I support both ideas, but they aren't comprehensive solutions to poverty and they would leave many Americans in need. A GMI would include all Americans and end poverty permanently. I know of no other proposal which would do so.
