> in other words, under a system of UBI, taxes could go down. That's a huge [citation needed]. You're funding a program that would cost trillions of dollars per year — e.g., $10k/year (less than I pay in rent for a 1 bed…) would cost ~$3T/year. You're talking about a yearly expense that would outweigh all of Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid, combined. There's no plausible way that that lowers taxes.
