Universal Basic Income is easy to fund, too. Why, expropriating just one
of the top billionaires would fund the whole program for almost six
months, and there are a bunch of them so we can easily make it to the
next election cycle.
I exaggerated slightly. Under my assumptions, the entire wealth of the
#1 billionaire would fund a U.S. program for a little over five months.
After that we’d go through billionaires more rapidly, and would run out.
The billionaires will be fine, though. They’ll get enough from UBI for
food with some left over to contribute toward shelter.
