Politics does not dictate our collective cultural mindset as much as it simply reflects it; We've got to look in the mirror sometimes, and we've got one.

Why would?
Why would? Why would so many people follow a bigot? A fear-monger? A racist? A sexist? A xenophobe? A pathological liar? An angry, hate-filled man? A man of no values? A man of no convictions? An untrustworthy man? A man whose word means less than nothing? An uneducated, unworldly man? A conman? A petty man? A vindictive man? A vengeful man? An unforgiving man? An uncultured man? A man who puts ketchup on well-done steak??

A New Norm?
The great push back to normalization now that a vaccine is out has only just begun.

Can we now define normal as it was before the Pandemic? Or will a new norm readjust American lives and livelihoods?

The Root of Most Problems
Before I get into the article, I want to address some key issues. I know that just by putting the phrase "Universal Income" in the subtitle, most people are either coming in ready to support or are coming in ready to tear me to shreds. Most people already have their minds set on whether this idea is good or bad. As a preface, I am not advocating for a fully socialist system. I am also not saying we should fully abolish the class system. The other thing I will not be addressing is how to fund a universal basic income. The scope of this article is addressing the usefulness of a universal income from an ethical standpoint and an economic standpoint, as well as addressing the most common argument against a universal income.
