The Canadian carbon tax returns 90% of its revenue as a rebate. It works great -- my family gets $500 a year, more than what we pay.

As far as the middle class paying for most of UBI, that's exactly what's supposed to happen. If you're an average taxpayer and UBI is $1000/month then your taxes should increase $1000/month.

The 90% carbon tax rebate is interesting, because everybody thinks they are at least 10% better than average.
