You're thinking of the wrong generation. Libertarians support it. They are one option for a future Republican platform. The tech generation's wealthy view UBI as a way to simplify the tax code, thus saving money. UBI would cause inflation and lower the lower class. Their buying power would eventually be worth nothing in a capitalist society. One couldn't expect the government to appropriately increase UBI over time. Stay in school, kids. There's no future where you don't need to do work in order to have the lifestyle you want.
