@northernlights @Radical_EgoCom Putting the max wealth at the Value of a Statistical Human Life would do that. Estimates for that value range from $7 mil to $10 mil, $11 mil in net worth needed to be in the top 1%. A wealth tax in that range would be about enough to pay for a UBI at 60% of the median income.

@northernlights @Radical_EgoCom Been a while since I've done the math, and getting the tax structure right is non-trivial. Would suck if we got rid of all the multi-millionaires but kept the billionaires. If I remember right, the UBI budget wasn't *quite* enough to lift all Americans out of relative poverty all by itself, but it came damn close.
