The way someone with $100,000,000 would perceive $1000 is how someone with $100,000 would perceive $1.

Oh my god, helping people! How political!

Helping people via the government is political.

Political isn't some word for "government action that's controversial" or "government action that you don't like." It's just the discussion of government actions.

It's inherently political to discuss universal basic income and acting as if it isn't, is intellectually dishonest.
