> Do you mean now? Or under UBI? Or under UBI plus the necessary changes in the tax code to make sure adding more income never puts you in a higher tax bracket that reduces your actual take home income? Even Under UBI, but we can end this discussion here since you seem painfully unaware of the basic facts around this topic and so I cannot assume we’re operating under the same general basis of understanding. The U.S. uses marginal rates, so increasing your income cannot reduce your take home pay, full stop. This is a sadly common misconception, but it is quite simply completely untrue. > Nobody wants to be the one who takes away any perceived benefit. Sorry, but I can’t help myself here. Nobody? Not even the major political party for whom—if they still had an actual platform—this is a major component of their party platform?
