I'm not sure how much you know about existing welfare systems in the US, but they are nothing close to getting a $6k check every month..plenty of people earning <$40k aren't eligible for them. Some people earning $0 can't even get them, and the ones that are aren't getting anywhere near a livable amount of money. People in higher tax brackets probably wouldn't immediately benefit sure, but tax bracket isn't permanent.
