  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.

  At Galaxy, we believe every child born in America should have a seat at the table of U.S. capital markets. By matching the government's contribution to Trump Accounts, we're turning that belief into action, putting capital to work from day one and gi...

  President Trump's $1,000 Baby Account, thanks to the One Big Beautiful Bill, doesn't replace Social Security—it supplements it. Every newborn becomes a stakeholder in America's future. Compounding wealth, not government dependence.

  Right now, the priority is to develop capital ownership 'homestead stakes' by as many citizens as possible. [...] Like Alaska, an AI permanent fund would use the dividends and some of the capital gains to create capital income payments. The payouts w...

  It took a lot of effort to achieve some basic rights, and now neoliberalism is destroying everything: the education system, health care... By giving money to each citizen you are transferring responsibility from the State to the people, so that they ...

  Basic Income attempts to pay people under what should probably be called the l’Oréal Principle (“because you’re worth it”). They want to be paid first and then perhaps do something later if they feel like it. That is a complete reversal of the princi...

  To claim a share of such wealth without being willing to make this contribution is unfairly to free-ride on those citizens who do make the required contribution. If this unfairness is to be avoided, receipt of an equal share of the relevant types of ...
