Don't we already have UBI? That's what the social security program looks like to me. It seems to me that if you want to expand UBI, you would be working to lower the retirement age. That's exactly the opposite of what is currently happening. The retirement age is rising, and the payments are shrinking. It doesn't seem like throwing taxation at the problem will address it.
