This is such a simplistic view of UBI.<p>In the short-term, it might work. In the long-term, you will have more people relying on the income and less people paying anything back into the system.<p>We should be enpowering people to get some sort of an education, learn a new skill, and make a living. Not creating more wage-slaves that will only be a burden on everyone.<p>On top of all this, companies and the wealthy would most likely move if they had to pay a tax rate that is this excessive.<p>What we really need to be doing is looking over our tax laws and figuring out a happy medium that will keep the people with the most money from leaving in droves.<p>I feel like there is a tendency to punish anyone with money.
