False dichotomy alert. These both impoverish the poor.
Instead, we could:
1. Wealth tax billionaires.
2. Corporate tax multinationals.
3. Listen to FairMoneyUK and print democratic money that's used to finance cash-flow assets that are owned by the people for the people.
4. Ban interest.
5. Introduce a massive deflationary bill that bans land-lording, Airbnb, second homes, and institutional investment in residential real estate, all of which would help make shelter costs significantly more affordable.
Binary thinking is terrible.
