Abstract Universal Basic Income (UBI) can serve as a beneficial public policy to reduce poverty and inequality, yet a great challenge is how to fund it. This article offers a roadmap for fully funding UBI in a manner that: eliminates poverty; bolsters the middle-class; eliminates the stigma and government bureaucracy of social welfare programs; reduces ever-expanding inequality; initiates a path to meeting climate change goals; reduces speculation; and increases fairness and opportunity in the tax code. As stand-alone policies, these revenue proposals are valuable correctives in their own right. If the entire package of UBI and funding sources were in effect, society (and American capitalism) would be on a more stable, equitable, and environmentally sustainable footing.

为全民基本收入融资：消除贫困和壮大中产阶级，同时解决不平等、经济租金和气候变化问题

摘要 全民基本收入（UBI）可以作为减少贫困和不平等的有益公共政策，但如何为其提供资金是一个巨大的挑战。本文提供了以以下方式全额资助 UBI 的路线图： 消除贫困；支持中产阶级；消除社会福利计划的污名和政府官僚主义；减少不断扩大的不平等；启动实现气候变化目标的途径；减少投机；并增加税法的公平性和机会。作为独立的政策，这些收入提案本身就是有价值的纠正措施。如果 UBI 和资金来源的整个一揽子计划都有效，社会（和美国资本主义）将处于更稳定、公平和环境可持续的基础上。
