I'd like to see more redistribution, but lump sum payments to 18yos are not going to be spent thoughtfully.

It's an extreme simplification; the idea is called "Baby Bonds" and it was part of Corey Booker's platform. It's not a simple cash payment but a savings account with funds that can be withdrawn only for education, job training, first home purchase, or starting a business.
