We could separate the concept of business and personal income where the basic income is taxes on business. Also, crank up efforts to eliminate tax dodges by big companies.<p>Anyway, I did a quick multiplication of average cost of living times our population. I get $10 trillion a year. Yeah, have no idea where they&#x27;ll get that from. A stipend good enough for a chunk of food or rent with a limit of one per head of household would be a fraction of that. Probably doable with U.S.&#x27;s tax revenues.
