Doesn't a UBI get rid of actually prevent a government from dictating who gets what? With current social support programs the government does get to choose who gets what. But with a UBI, every adult would get the same amount, effectively removing the government's ability to choose who gets benefits. Maybe I'm just misunderstanding what you are saying, I don't know.
