What makes you say that? His website lists current social programs as the first source of money for this program. People either switch over and see a marginal benefit, or they do not switch and they get nothing from the Freedom Dividend:

> The means to pay for the Freedom Dividend will come from 4 sources:

> 1. Current spending. We currently spend between $500 and $600 billion a year on welfare programs, food stamps, disability and the like. This reduces the cost of the Freedom Dividend because people already receiving benefits would have a choice but would be ineligible to receive the full $1,000 in addition to current benefits.

It gives the Freedom Dividend this weird behavior of providing the least help to people who need it most.
