Exact phrasing matches. 401kSpecialistMag URL returned 403 but content is extensively corroborated. Vote 'for' a universal basic wealth/capital endowment at birth aligns with his endorsement of Trump Accounts (which grant US newborns an initial deposit) paired with 529/401(k) plans to broaden ownership.
