It a world where economies, political systems, and even entire ecologies are being horribly degraded by historically extreme concentrations of wealth, a massive tax hike is a feature, not a bug. Some may ignore this aspect of UBI programs, to others it's just as important as the social security and well-distributed economic base that UBI provides.

"But...but redistribution!"

Yeah, about that. Unless you've been protesting the massive policy-driven upward redistribution of wealth that's happened over the past three decades, your position probably isn't as principled as you imagine.

So promulgate and make certain a UBI, but roll back based on new concentration of wealth within the upper quadrile than the lower three quadriles itself reversing course so that "oh, we do not need the UBI any more because", where is that Congress of sorts, excluding the upper quadrile, and specifically its mailing address? Because based on my two posts above, approximate number, I would like to make myself useful rather than a glance at the sayings of the upper quadrile, glance at the sayings of the three lower quadriles, and once-a-lower-quadrile-for certain and now all over the map depending upon which UBI I should maybe be entitled to unless I am recused for being a spokesperson for that lower three quadriles, another way to make Dad proud of me were he still living. Or something. [ if the reader of this reply will forgive me, I am not certain if I am agreeing or disagreeing with the post to which I am replying, but confirming to myself that I can post within YN as a new skillset. Critiques welcome, but probably will not reach me as I doubt to read this same thread tomorrow. Doubly apologetic. Thanks.
