You realize this is a self defeating argument right?
It's no longer a Universal Income when someone who makes $120k contributes $12k... and then receives 0. That's just wealth redistribution.
- nkoren 9y agoThat's not how UBI works, or how math works. The person who makes $120k would contribute $24k and receive $12k. So yes, they would be a net payee. But they're in the top 7% of income earners: they can afford it. Or, more pointedly: the compromises they'd need to make to afford it are NOTHING compared to the compromises made by the bottom 50% simply to survive.
