Unconditional Basic Income
This is actually a libertarian not a progressive idea.
Sure billions like Bill Gates and Elon Musk like it, but that's because one, they hope to remove minimum wage, improving their profits, two, they know AI will kick millions out of the workforce, and if two many people die, it will hurt the economy and their businesses.
Pros:
Can allow us to remove minimum wage, which will benefit every sector in the country, and end the export of labour overnight. Weakening China massively and reducing their influence on America's and the worlds economy.
Starting a new business is easier which creates competition. Not just easier, some studies have found that instead of not working, many people take that money and use it start businesses. This means that not only do you no longer have homeless and starving, the poor and starving will want to work. Even better, without minimum wage, as long as the work environment is good they will work for very little since just having someplace to go and hangout with people your age is a very good thing, and many people find work satisfying.
People can also finally focus on career paths they love and try new things, which will have a much harder to see effect but will make people happier and more hardworking in my opinion.
Can reduce regulation in business finally. This is essential. If we keep regulating, eventually, we are going to not be able to do, anything. We'll literally be paralysed by the millions of regulations, or more likely, like in the EU, businesses will simply pay government employees so they can avoid the law, contributing to Cronyism and making the current situation worse.
No minimum wage means there's no incentive to employee people in foreign countries, no incentive to employee illegal immigrants. I don't need to explain why this is good.
Businesses like Walmart that pay their employees as little as possible and are basically receiving tax payer money through social security will go out of business.
Big Business hates this because it will massively improve competition and destroy them. I hate Big Business, and also this will hate Gab defeat, maul to death, and feast on the corpse of twitter.
Unlike other stupider government handouts, this is a right, not something Big Government or Big Business can take away for saying mean words on twitter. Government Handouts allow them a means of control, and handouts will exist as long as there are people who can't survive they will exist. Unless we change this, we are doomed to eventually be put in chains by Big Government and Big Business. You know what that means?

Competition improves the economy:
Government funds itself by printing money, not increasing taxes, if this fails to raise the value of the currency and inflation causes problems, that can be solved by raising taxes on businesses that have a monopoly instead of breaking them, which encourages to create competition themselves.
Corporate tax bracket:
While taxes should be reduced, and income tax flat out removed, Corporations that have no profit should receive no taxes. Businesses that spend everything on the product should be encouraged, and those that are scared of taking risks or just want fat bonuses every year should be punished harshly. We should be careful about taxes, but money that isn't used should be taxed.
Thinking about the future:
Israel enacted a policy where the person who makes the most money in a business can not earn more than 40 times the lowest person in a business. I think this is a stupid idea and reduces freedom, but maybe higher taxes on businesses that have employees in management that earn 40 times more than the highest paid employee not in management, after 400 years, of that business existing. And if the business isn't liked by at least 50% of the public.
Crowdfunded military? :
To reduce Government spending we need to fix their overspending on military, fortunately most of that is just Veterans benefits. This isn't essential, but may help. Maybe keep it Government paid, but allow crowdfunding/donations, and make it so that donating can allow you access to knowledge that isn't classified. Like knowledge of where the money is going, tours of bases and weapons projects? Imagine spending a million dollars to donate to the Gen 6 aircraft program, and being able to take your kid to see them being tested at an airbase?
