How do we prevent UBI from becoming as corrupted and convoluted as taxes?

Governments will use UBI to drive behavior and it will always favor the well connected.

Isn't the whole point of UBI that it is universal and equal, e.g. everyone gets XX$ no matter what? If it is tied somehow to behavior then it is not UBI anymore, but more like a tax credit
