Democracy is not a free pas to vote anything, especially if it is negatively impact some people, otherwise you justify gang rapes as a majority decision.

Sure, but it's tough to imagine in today's climate that a majority of voters living only on UBI would vote to maintain or lower the amount of money given directly to them from the top X%.

We already have the issue today but it's not quite so direct.

This is a huge problem with UBI. Maybe people will have to make a choice, either live on UBI or vote, but not both - it is immoral to vote for your own benefits.
