Depends on whether you pay for it mostly from increased taxes or cuts to benefits. It's certainly possible to design a UBI programme where comfortably middle class families are the chief beneficiaries and existing state handout recipients, (i.e. "poor folks") the chief losers. And it's certainly true that many of UBI's most prominent proponents on the right are also amongst the most prominent opponents of any attempt to raise taxes on the rich...

Yeah, I guess that assumption is an optimistic one. I tend to mostly think of UBI as a left/progressive issue. I only have a passing familiarity with what folks on the right think about UBI but mostly historically, not present day. Got any links handy to help me broaden my horizons?
