If I understand Flame Addiction at all (and I'm probably completely missing his point), the administrative burden on a non-universal UBI would be an absolute nightmare.

Apologies if this has been explained (big thread) but if you give everyone 20k, and tax everyone to pay for it, I ASSUME the richest people would lose some money, and the poorest people would gain some money, and it would even out somewhere in the middle, but where is that middle based on the expected tax rates? Like I know if you upped the tax rate 20% then 100k would be break even with a UBI, but I guess I’m curious what the actual expected tax rate to pay for this would be and what the break even salary would be (again, sorry, I know it’s probably been mentioned and the math is fairly simple with that number in hand).
