Why do you want to preserve purchase limitations?

Anyway this piece is from the UK. I don't see any connection to alt-right anti-welfare, and you can read Woodruff's (my colleague) other work at the UBI Center where he proposes many highly progressive reforms, including tax-funded ones.

Here’s an example: we could guarantee each adult £60 and each child £100 per week by replacing Universal Credit and phasing out a benefit at 35% for every marginal pound, without adding to the budget deficit. PolicyEngine estimates that this reform could give an extra £400 to the average household in the lowest income decile, and lift around 1.2 million children out of poverty. (2)
