  So although I do not at all like the idea of universal basic income because I don’t think it solves many problems, and I think it creates others, I do like the idea of what some people call universal basic wealth where people are granted the endowmen...

  A little over five years ago, I had an idea on how to give every newborn American a stake in capitalism. Today, President @realDonaldTrump made that idea a reality with Trump Accounts.
