Re:A Basic Income Is Smarter Than a Minimum Wage by aero142 on Monday April 04, 2016 @03:34PM (#11424734)
Imagine a new tax passed at the same time as basic income where anyone making more than the median income of $51,939 paid an additional $10000 in taxes. Now, lets tack on a dollar for dollar replacement for anyone receiving disability or social security.

These kinds of thing make that number start dropping pretty quick and are in the spirit of what basic income would look like. The raw number you gave isn't what anyone is proposing.
