1.) We&#x27;d have to implement it so that starting somewhere on the pay scale, taxes increase so that by some point you pay back to full $10k you received.  Naively: $25k income you pay back $1000 of the $10k in taxes at $50k, pay back $2500, etc.  That way you, making over $100k, essentially get $0 basic income by the end of the year.<p>2.) You probably have to say &quot;everyone over 18 gets $10k, each child up to 3 per family gets $2k&quot;...or something similar.  Getting $10k per child creates some crazy incentives. (2010 there was roughly 70m people under 18, so it&#x27;s only $2.38 trillion! ;)<p>3.) You can probably remove a ton of welfare programs if you do this, but not all. You can&#x27;t completely remove the safety net, but a lot few people should have to be serviced by said net.
