That kind of taxation would just reduce upward mobility in the workplace though, wouldn’t it?

I wouldn’t accept a job role with more responsibility if it meant losing my low-income subsidies and being taxed instead.

Society needs workers to accept more responsibilities and progress in their careers otherwise there will be less creation of jobs for those at the entry level.

I’m not saying UBI is the right solution, but it would reduce the “cliffs” where people lose money for progressing in their careers.
