£10,000 proposed for everyone under 55
The government should give £10,000 to every citizen under 55, a report suggests.
The Royal Society for the encouragement of the Arts, Manufactures and Commerce (RSA) said it could pave the way to everyone getting a basic state wage.
The idea sees two payments of £5,000 paid over two years, but certain state benefits and tax reliefs would be removed at the same time.
The RSA said it would compensate workers for the way jobs are changing.
The money would help to steer UK citizens through the 2020s, "as automation replaces many jobs, climate change hits and more people face balancing employment with social care", the report said.

TAPPING? You POLITICIANS! Don't you realize that the END of the "Wash
Cycle" is a TREASURED MOMENT for most people?!

That's like something Paul Weyrich would come up with. Brilliant guy! He was always thinking of ways to have the FEWEST people voting. Because that's tremendous for the Republican Party! Have you ever thought of joining?

Sorry but you're not the Donald that I wrote in several times on my ballot last time around. The one I voted for wears a little sailor hat and shirt but no pants.
My rights don't end where your fear begins.

I miss Hugh Hefner, he did so much to make America great. I made so many sexy tapes for him, for Playboy. But I always, always kept my pants on. Very classy!
But a lot of our Dem politicians get caught with their pants down. Gerry Studds, Barney Frank, both queers, I can see them in a sailor outfit, that sounds a little queer (no offense to Runaway1956). Both from Massachusetts. Ted Kennedy, the Chappaquiddick guy, he was another from Massachusetts, they said his cousin did a rape. They charged him with rape, the jury acquitted him. But I think he was GUILTY AS HELL.
Just like the Central Park 5. Different but the same. They were convicted of rape but it got "vacated." Unbelievable! I spent $100,000 of my own money, I took out ads in all the papers, I said "criminals must be told that their CIVIL LIBERTIES END WHEN AN ATTACK ON OUR SAFETY BEGINS!" Law & Order is so important. Protecting our precious, precious women, so important.
