Mark Walker 16, Professor and Richard L. Hedden Endowed Chair at New Mexico State University, Ph.D. from the Australian National University, 2016, “Paying for Basic Income Guarantee,” Free Money for All: A Basic Income Guarantee Solution for the Twenty-First Century, Chapter 2, https://doi.org/10.1057/9781137471338, BIG = Basic Income Guarantee
The proposed annual BIG of $10,000 would be paid directly by the Internal Revenue Service proportionately once a month. So, each month, every US citizen would receive one-twelfth of his or her $10,000 per annum, or $833 per month, payment as a direct deposit into his or her account. As indicated, this same amount would go into the accounts of the richest citizens, including Bill Gates and Warren Buffett, as well as our surfer.
