Martin Luther King had a dream, and we can make it come true. Set an amount, say $500 or $750 or $1,000, and have government provide that each month to every adult citizen. The same amount for everyone: homeless veterans, recent graduates, working parents, retired grandparents, and the rest of us. A basic income, guaranteed, universal and unconditional, added to and independently of what we earn.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
