>It would be my responsibility to work harder because all of this money has to come from somewhere. You don't work because it's your responsibility to make the economy function. You work because people give you incentives to do so. UBI just changes the incentives slightly: You can choose whether you want the minimum or whether you want to earn some luxuries. You can argue about how many people are going to take the latter choice, but it's ludicrous to suggest you would be forced towards it by your "responsibility" to the economy. >No one is going to pay me more under UBI than I earn now because I work harder. If lots of people stop working, then those who continue to do so will become a lot more valuable, and companies will have to pay them more as a result.
