ABOUT THIS EPISODE
We have heard much about the basic income trial in Stockton, CA, and finally got some aggregate statistics earlier this year.

If we were to fund a basic income of $1,000 a month with a wealth tax, a carbon tax, some program consolidation and deficit spending, how much would your bank account increase or decrease after your income and current government assistance are factored in?
