Verified. The quote "Replacing the welfare state with an annual grant is the best way to cope with a radically changing U.S. jobs market—and to revitalize America's civic culture" is the subtitle of Charles Murray's June 2016 Wall Street Journal article "A Guaranteed Income for Every American" (source URL matches). Murray is a well-known advocate for replacing the welfare state with a UBI, as detailed in his book "In Our Hands: A Plan to Replace the Welfare State." The vote direction "for" on "Implement a universal basic income" correctly reflects the quote's stance. Could not directly fetch WSJ (paywall), but web search results from multiple sources (econjobrumors, philipgreenspun.com, basicincome.org) confirm the article title, subtitle, author, and content.
