It's a mineral right, not a surface right. They can't do anything on the surface (including building the well) unless they obtain surface rights (a separate process). Mineral rights are there so they can investigate if there is oi

The middle class will also pay additional taxes (although less than their ubi). UBI is basically an offset to the curve of progressive tax rate.

Why limit to billionaires? Total net assets in the US ~ $270T, so you can pay for UBI and balance the budget with under 2% wealth tax. The real problem is how to realize this tax. I think it is probably too hard to actually appraise everyth
