"Public services should be public"

Money is not a public service.

Also, to the OP Milton Friedman's 'Negative Tax' is the same thing as UBI - in the end, 'rich people' would not get a cheque in the mail because on the whole, they'd make too much money.

Also - the top 10% taxes would have to go up radically in order to pay for UBI.

[aahhahahaaa]

The top 10% of taxes should go up radically. They've been MUCH higher in the past.

There were somewhat higher for a tiny slice of history.
