Your criticism is about the tax system, not UBI. If you want to change the tax system to target those issues, that sounds like a good idea. It's sorta orthogonal to the conversation about where those taxes go, though.
- b9a2cab5 5y agoLike I said, UBI would be funded by large tax increases, so instituting UBI would directly fuel those inequalities.
- tyrust 5y agoBy your logic, any tax increase will fuel inequalities. This is a reasonable line of thinking (although I do not know its validity), but serves nothing more than to derail a conversation about tax-funded benefits.
- b9a2cab5 5y agoThe conversation is whether UBI will fuel existing inequalities or remove them. I argue it will exacerbate inequalities because of the taxes needed to pay for it. How is this any more derailing than the OP's comment about Garcetti?
