    I’d be happy to receive money every months that I payback in full on my tax deductions. If I suddenly stop working, the check just keep coming in. It becomes a safety net available to all, that doesn’t mean you are actually giving it to all, all the time. You can get rid of other program that become redundant. Welfare, employment insurance, hell student loans too could be splified this way.

        Welfare only kicks in once I’ve spent all my savings and sold my house. Money comes from taxes. Welfare takes lots of time to kick in and is sublet to a ton of conditions. UBI is there all the time. Way cheaper to administrate.

        Taxes on corporations and the rich, savings on overhead from existing programs that will no longer be required.
