“Us” the people who pay taxes and are hypothetically responsible for paying for UBI.

Unless you’re politically well connected or have nine figures in the bank, you aren’t wielding significant power to make systemic changes.

And yet you’re expected to pay for UBI nonetheless…

You know that UBI is cheaper than policing the problems that runaway wealth disparity causes, right? UBI also means that employers cannot easily exploit workers with the threat of destitution, meaning that wages, including yours, go up. It also makes society more pleasant as people with prospects turn to drugs or crime less frequently.

The only people UBI doesn’t benefit, is the absurdly wealthy. Your myopic worldview has you voting against your own interests.
