The only real answer is UBI as a dividend to citizens as shareholders

Average wage growth for workers is now at the slowest pace in 5 years — and could soon be eaten up by inflation. Meanwhile, CEO pay continues to skyrocket through the stratosphere. Imagine what our economy would look like if worker pay grew like CEO pay.

Farm workers deserve a living wage, and the recognition in the US that they are community members with inherent value and belonging. Thank you for all you do to feed us!

For 1% of GDP, $175 billion, you could lift all Americans out of poverty through Universal Basic Income. This is entirely doable with political will, benefits everyone across society, and actually leads to declines in alcohol and tobacco consumption. Full Video here: youtube.com/shorts/G7OTX...

I wish every citizen with less than $5 million in assets and less than $1 million in annual income would read Tax the Rich by the Patriotic Millionaires. Universal basic income and health care and everyone gets the start we all try to give our children.

And this is a big part of why we need basic income So we can take our time to make the best art possible without worrying about running out of food or not being able to pay our rent

us too ❤️‍🔥

A newfound ability to breathe is always a top response in basic income pilots among participants when asked how'd they'd describe what it's like having basic income.

The fight for democracy isn’t just about who gets to vote—it’s about whether the government those voters choose has the power to act. And that power comes from taxation. Our stance? We should be the ones who shoulder the largest tax burden in order to preserve our democracy.

Universal basic income and healthcare should have both been implemented decades ago, but the second best time is right this goddamn instant.

It’s a political choice by governments.

Poverty is a moral failing, just not a failing of the individual. It’s a failing of society.

We need to stop measuring the economy by how wealthy the top 1% are doing or by how much the stock market has increased. Instead we need to start measuring a country’s success by its standard of living, its access to healthcare/education and its the levels of homelessness/poverty.

Guaranteed income policies are being proposed at the state level in over half of the United States. State leaders in more than 20 states have introduced bills to explore recurring, unconditional cash programs as a response to affordability challenges. zurl.co/0RCK8

In 2022, the wealth gap between Black and white families was more than $1.4 million. Why is that? Among many (!) other reasons, because Black workers were excluded from key provisions of FDR’s New Deal. Learn more in our latest Closer Look: patrioticmillionaires.org/perspectives...

If a government can do corporate bailouts, they can do universal basic income

Another one!

Patriotic Millionaire Scott Ellis appeared on the @ricksmithshow.bsky.social to dispel the idea that requiring billionaires to pay their taxes is a punishment—rather, them paying their fair share is what we need for a healthy economy and democracy.

Every person deserves to have the means to be independent and have the autonomy to take care of their own needs. Community and building support for each other is so meaningful, but being at the mercy of others to survive, no one wants if its not a choice. This is why we need UBI.

In case you missed my latest Substack, it's a collection of the evidence from recent guaranteed basic income and unconditional cash pilots focused on homeless populations. As Bluesky knows, of course it works, but still, it's good to have evidence like this on our side to support our demand for UBI.

The vision is always worth fighting for!

Unfettered capitalism relies on fear to control people without using fences or cattleprods. Fear of starvation, joblessness, illness, homelessness. Pretty paint on a slave shack doesn't change what it is. To those who oppose the concept of a universal basic income, show them this.

If Universal Basic Income was part of your life, would you find yourself more or less connected with your community?

You know what would *actually* go a long way towards "democratizing art"? Universal Basic Income.

The pro-health case for basic income is overwhelming

All I’m saying is that we need universal basic income.

2025 was the worst year of layoffs since the pandemic. AI automation played a huge role in this, allowing large corporations to automate and layoff thousands of people. 207,572 are without income AND there are more unemployed people than jobs. We need a basic income!

Here's our take: if all our country's economic success is floating to the top, we should be ashamed. When the concentration of wealth is in the hands of a select few, it is not a measure of success for our country. #TaxTheRich #PayThePeople #SpreadThePower

Income stability is becoming more and more unattainable. This is not an economy that allows the majority of people to flourish, let alone live comfortably. We need a basic income. #basicincomenow #basicincome

Democrats shut down the government in order to stall Medicaid funding cuts; the administration opposed state-funded SNAP benefits, leveraging Americans' hunger to further their agenda.

Elon Musk could get a trillion-dollar payout while 42 million Americans watched their turn into SNAP benefits political pawns during the government shutdown. That’s not a system, that’s a moral collapse.

The administration is about to take healthcare from millions of Americans. Our basic needs are becoming more and more exclusive while the rich get richer. #whenisenoughenough
