But the dividend is per capita? So some poor person who is stuck driving to work gets to reimburse me for my Tesla?

  Yes, it's per capita-ish. As implemented in Canada, rural residents get a bit more than urban, and children get half the amount as adults (paid to their parents, of course). That poor person isn't taking multiple flights per year, buying lots of stuff, et cetera. So even with driving to work he's probably still keeping a small fraction of the dividend.

  Poor people can't afford vehicles. Poor people currently use the bus. These people would benefit from a tax & rebate scheme.

    Context is US, many poor own vehicles.

      Repo man. Own a declining asset which stands them in good stead only because public welfare is insufficient. And the asset becomes a liability overnight. Why are you defending a system which makes low paid workers sleep in their cars?
