#TaxOnThePoor: “Not having #money is time consuming. There are #hours spent at laundromats, hours at bus stops, hours at free clinics, hours at thrift stores, hours on the phone with the #bank or the #credit card company or the phone company over some fee, some little charge, some mistake... the problems with an #economic #system in which #property owners “win” by impoverishing #renters”. #PostalBanking #GuaranteedBasicIncome
