@johannab I would argue that #UBI should be separate from allocations for healthcare, education, and possibly even housing, because it's obvious that some people will choose to spend their UBI unwisely, so we should at least ensure these common goods.
As for how to pay for it, I argue that #LVT #LandValueTax as the #SingleTax is the right way. We don't need to muck about with income taxes, estate taxes, or anything else (other than pollution taxes).
I disgree that children should get less.
Every word of Prof. Murphy's presentation here is equally applicable to the US.
Nine letters in three acronyms would utterly transform human civilization: #LVT #UBI #MMT.
We could do this virtually overnight, if we could just convince people of the truth of how economies actually function.
