    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?
