Hi, Art--a bit confused.  First you say, "All that is needed is a Guaranteed Annual Income for the poor."  Whatever the definition of poor is.(Canada has no official poverty measure because Statistics Canada has stated that unless politicians express a social consensus on the definition of poverty, there will be no measure ...)  No consensus yet, so I guess we have to work on that.  But I digress...

Then you say, "the private sector does so well everywhere it is allowed to work."  Hmm. Could be sarcasm.  Maybe not.  If you believe that statement, Guaranteed Annual Income for the poor makes no sense.

Was that your point?  What we need here is facial expression, perhaps to help make your intent obvious.  Without it...
