This response doesn't really even matter because the rich wouldn't be taxed enough to actually pay for it. And if they were it would hinder economic growth. You also realize the top 50% of income earners in the US pay 100% of the taxes. You also realize the top 10% earners pay 37% of the income taxes. So at what point is enough enough?
The entire premise of UBI is counter productive as it is. We can act like the differ but we all know that people will simply drop out of the work force when they don't have to work.
Wouldn't this be a solution to any third world country is to simply supply a UBI to its citizens? Why wouldn't Venezuela do this if it was so great?
Such a big risk to attempt that ignores economics 101.
