RE: Why universal basic income should cover both adults and children

in #basicincome7 years ago

Because we actually already collect taxes for programs like SNAP, WIC, EITC, CTC, and provide tax expenditures in the form of child deductions and other tax expenditures, the basic income for kids part is actually mostly revenue neutral. We'd really just be combining everything into one flat universal amount, and increasing the size a bit.
