This state just inched closer to giving every resident a $750 universal basic income each year with no strings attached

• UBI advocates in Oregon say they collected enough signatures to get the measure on the ballot.
• The first-of-its-kind initiative would give each resident $750 a year by taxing corporations.
• Basic income programs throughout the country have delivered promising results.

Oregon voters may soon decide if the Beaver State will be the first in the country to implement a universal basic income program that would put cash in residents' pockets by taxing corporations.
