I posted about this 3 months ago and it was $750–glad to see the measure is going for it. The $1,600 is per person, not household. Minors count.
Large corps ($25m in revenue minimum) pay.
I’m for UBI at the federal level, but everything I’ve read/heard about the details of 118, including from my tax lawyer sister, is that it’s terribly written and would be bad policy as a result. We’ve had some wacky referendums in Oregon over the years, a lot of naive good intentions. I’ll probably have to dust off my reading glasses for the text of 118, because if we try UBI and it fails, it’ll be a warning example to discourage everyone else - the same way that the decriminalization-without-recovery-support was
Yeah this is a good call - I will be digging into this before making up my mind.
Kinda-sorta UBI. Seems like a good way to show the positives of such a program to the whole country.
Yup. Just like pandemic payments, only this time not borrowing against national debt, just sharing profits–only unlike pandemic stimulus payments this has no income restrictions.
