hmm, you still have to make a distinction between the working person and the non-working person. If everyone's on UBI and less people are working who's paying for it? Taxes taken from where? You said yourself you would not be working and early retired. I would be as well.
And does an employee pay for CPP and EI anymore? Or are those programs now non-existent and a laid-off person gets zero more than the UBI they already had?
Is it all income tax now?
