An alternative idea to UBI that achieves many of the same ends is to remove all taxes other than a wealth tax. A wealth tax actually would greatly augment UBI.

- eximius 7y agoHow do those two accomplish the same ends? UBI gives money, a tax takes money. Even if the wealth tax could go negative at low income levels, it doesn't seem obvious that this would _augment_ UBI.
- avac 7y agoIt wouldn't help those who don't make enough to pay taxes as well as the homeless, students, stay-at-home parents, disabled, retired, caretakers, etc.
