      Napkin math will demonstrate to you why UBI is not sustainable on scale, even with an increase in taxes.

        mind doing that napkin math?

        I did a while ago and i found that if an annual wealth tax rate of 3% on wealth above $10 million is implemented, then it would be enough to give all americans a monthly handout of $300, and that was by rather conservative estimates. It might be higher.

          I did it above if you are interested.

          Do you believe $300 a month is sufficient for survival using the core idea of UBI?

            It’s a start. We’ll see how things develop in the future. A first step needs to be made.
