I get that it's in the context of UBI that we're talking here. To play devil's advocate here, if this individual will collect UBI regardless of whether or not they work, why do I, as a working individual care? What difference does it make to my tax bill? I get that moral obligation to not leach off of society, etc. But truly, does it matter?
