Ireland has shown that basic income works — not just socially, but economically.
Give people time and security to develop their skills, and the returns flow back to society. Now let’s go further.

If you want to draw a line at $400k, just tax those above that point more than the UBI amount. Works better.
Negative Income Tax is Not Cheaper Than Universal Basic Income, Nor is Guaranteed Income 'More Progressive' by Excluding the Rich
Many people don't know this, but Milton Friedman was once asked in the Spring of 2000 what he thought about a universal basic income (UBI) in comparison to his proposed negative income tax (NIT) and t...

Literally all the social science literature also finds the best way to help poor people is--shocker--to just give them money, rather than benefits like SNAP with super high admin costs and a shitload of humiliating hoops to jump through and paternalistic conditions.
Helping an older relative use SNAP for the first time. This is a publicly humiliating process that holds up lines and expects the elderly to be tech savvy or starve. I think this relative has been avoiding eating to avoid figuring it out. I am glad she has family to guide her. How many don’t?

“Basic income has been shown to reduce health care costs, including an 8.5% reduction in hospitalizations. As Dr. Danielle Martin [the newly elected Liberal MP in today’s by-election] has so pointedly said, “If we discovered a drug that reduced hospitalizations by 8.5%, we’d put it in the water.”

In Kenya, a UBI reduced instances of women being kicked, dragged, or beaten by 51%. In the Dauphin pilot, violent crime dropped by 37% and less domestic abuse was a big part of that. Also, divorce rates didn't increase but relationships improved by empowering women.

A trial of #UniversalBasicIncome for the creative sector. Might Westminster catch up with this excellent idea?

Okay, early days, but here's a quick starter pack for Universal Basic Income with some accounts to follow besides mine, and the UBI feed that's super useful to leverage to find fellow UBI supporters and amplify their UBI content.

Every household in America should receive $1200 per month in basic income, in addition to other earnings. All households earning less than $80,000 a year should pay no federal tax.
The money to pay for these will initially come from a 5% wealth tax on the top 0.0001 percent of households.

Another mechanism for #UBI #UniversalBasicIncome benefits
In more than 700 cases over five years, Georgia reported inadequate housing as the sole reason for taking a child into foster care, a @wabe.org and ProPublica analysis found.
Advocates say it would be cheaper to help families get housing.

I truly, deeply, sincerely do think the guy flipping burgers at McDonalds should be able to afford rent, bills, and groceries with his paycheck alone. That's kind of the whole point of having a job and I can't believe this is considered a radical position.🤷🏽♀️
