Alaska taxes mining and uses that money as UBI for state citizens. The USA should be doing this for all mined resources including bottled water.

I agree. However, I would argue that the resources of the Earth should be shared by all living things. I’m not sure why most people think by the country instead of by the planet.

Your extreme positions on subsidizing colonialism in Palestine make it seem like you are just saying this and you think the US taxpayers are supposed to fund a religious experiment.

Is this an awkward way of saying that we should end foreign wars? Cuz I'd be with you on that. Is this a weird way of saying we should stop sending taxpayer money overseas to well, everyone? I'd agree with that, too.
