Where is this $1,000 a month coming from? The US had a reported population of 323,127,515 in 2016. 62% of the population is ages 18-64. source $1,000 a month is $12,000 a year, multiplied by 62% of the population is $2,404,070,199,600 per year. The country is already 21 trillion in debt and rising what can we change to combat this and still implement a UBI?

Edit: I read this on your site, but my question still stands.

A Value-Added Tax (VAT) is a tax on the production of goods or services a business produces. It is a fair tax and it makes it much harder for large corporations, who are expert at hiding profits and income, to avoid paying their fair share. A VAT is nothing new. 160 out of 193 countries in the world already have a Value-Added Tax or something similar, including all of Europe which has an average VAT of 20 percent.

Not exactly. Here is an example.

On Monday if you have $100 in your account you will have 4 tickets.

If on Wednesday you add $25 to your account, you will get a new ticket, making your total 5 tickets. You can pick any numbers for that ticket excluding numbers that have been drawn that week for the lottery.

Say then on Thursday of the same week you decide to pull out $50. You will lose your 2 best tickets, the tickets with the most matches. Dropping your total ticket count to 3.

You will always gain or lose a ticket when adding or removing $25, with the exception of using the debit card. When you use the debit card you are allowed to keep your tickets until the next week.
