McGovernomics: Higher Taxes and a Minimum Income Plan
McGovern proposes a universal $1,000 annual grant funded by $60.5 billion in tax reform and defense cuts. The plan would tax the grant as earnings, eliminate the $750 personal exemption, and aim to replace ADC with a break-even income threshold that shifts tax burdens. Supporters cite reduced welfare costs and eliminated bureacracy, while opponents doubt revenue estimates and feasibility.
