There's a huge difference between the Alaska Permanent Fund that was established primarily with oil revenue windfalls and augmented with surpluses in boom years and a basic income program that would be funded by increased taxes.

Huge policy and economic backend difference, definitely. But for propaganda/marketing purposes, to the common man these are the same program. It's the government giving you free money and that's all that should ever be in the talking points.
