The source URL (https://evonomics.com/how-to-pay-for-universal-basic-income/) returns HTTP 403 and blocks WebFetch access, so I could not directly confirm the exact quote text on the page. Web search confirms the article exists and is co-authored by James K. Boyce (economist at UMass Amherst) and Peter Barnes, and the topic (UBI funding via universal assets, cross-ideological appeal) is consistent with the quote and Boyce's known views. The vote alignment ("for" on "Implement a universal basic income") matches the pro-UBI thrust of the article. However, since I cannot programmatically verify the exact wording on the source page (year 2016, source blocked), marking as ai_unverifiable rather than verified. Note: quote year is 2016, older than 2025; a search for more recent Boyce statements on UBI did not surface a clearly newer direct quote suitable for replacement.
