Your phase-out and progressive taxation numbers don't work out for any logical application of the concept. A means-tested pahse-out of a UBI in a progressive tax scheme would reduce the UBI for earners only in the highest tax bracket, thus further increasing their tax rate. I would prefer a flat tax, with the UBI acting as the progressive mechanism while also being phased-out for high earners. Your assumptions in your response are really bizzarre...
