Is the "safety net" actually a trap? In this heated discussion, we break down the shocking reports of a $150 million bounty placed on US Embassy workers and high-ranking targets in Iraq. But the conversation takes a deeper turn into the very fabric of Western society: Does Universal Basic Income empower the poor, or does it mirror the "Council Estate" crisis in the UK, where generational welfare destroys the drive to succeed? From Adam Smith’s true definition of capitalism to the brutal lessons of the Great Depression’s New Deal, we explore whether cash handouts are a lifeline or a poison pill for the modern economy. Watch until the end to see the clash over what truly lifts a person out of "crippling poverty."
