That’s a UBI, not Social Security. It’s a great idea! But it’s not Social Security.

If that were UBI then I would get paid before I was 67.

Social security paying retirement and disability payments would be different from UBI. I am simply saying paying in should be proportional to income but the benefits should not.
A CEO and minimum wage worker should get the same social security benefits and they would be higher than they currently are if we taxed the Epstein class properly.
