Would those in the USA accept a tax where all income above $10,000 / year (around the global mean) was taken to enable global redistribution?

  I don’t think anyone is suggesting that. It would probably just be another tax for high earners?

    my point is that all citizens of US are high earners from a global perspective. Taxing USA-standard "high earners" wouldn't generate nearly enough funds for a global UBI (it probably wouldn't for a USA UBI either).

      True but I think he meant each country does it’s own ubi.

        He thinks places in Africa like the Congo should stay the same because there's no one rich there? No. That wouldn't make sense.
