    It’s over 3.5 trillion if given to everyone.

    Source on the bottom 80% paying most of the taxes please?

    Don’t forget redirecting over half the budget to fund a UBI significantly alters the US economy.

      You obviously didn’t read what I said, it’s not to give to everyone.

        If it isn’t for everyone it isn’t universal. Even at 2 trillion it would devastate our economy. We don’t have that much free money in the system.

        Now please provide a source on your claim that the bottom 80% pay most of the taxes as Im fairly certain that is not true.
