Also I think I can accept that a certain amount of taxes is a necessary evil. But let's treat it as such, and avoid taking more than absolutely necessary.
In my opinion UBI is a step way too far in the wrong direction.
I am absolutely happy to give back to the community, when it's a voluntary decision, a choice I am free to make.
Yes, I did benefit from living in a society, but I never signed up to owing them something for the rest of my life.
It's beautiful when people are making a decision to contribute to society and help others, it's very different when they are coerced into it.
