Start a micro-investment company that allows people to invest in others to live and better themselves for some kind of cut of their future income.  Do this at a huge scale.<p>The problem with basic income is where does the money come from? It&#x27;s either loaned, taxed or invested.  Loans are bad because you are enslaving the borrower.  Taxes are bad because you are stealing work&#x2F;labor from the taxed.  Investments are best: you probably won&#x27;t make your money back, but the possibility could provide incentive to give.<p>On the recipients side: perhaps there is value for them to promote themselves (in a Kickstarter kind of way) for more investments.  Just the exercise might give them ideas of how to increase their own value.<p>Have the fed become the basic investor.  This means inflating the money supply, but somewhat curtailed because successful investments have some payback.  This is perhaps the fairest tax-like money source- it really hurts those with large amount of parked cash the most, which may not be such a bad thing.  It encourages them to do something better with their money.
